Ajax starlet vows to snub Liverpool FC in favour of Barcelona

Christian Eriksen has revealed he would reject a move to Liverpool in favour of joining Barcelona.

The 19-year-old last month attempted to cool links with Anfield after assistant manager Sammy Lee monitored him during Denmark's friendly defeat to England by insisting that his immediate future lay with Ajax, despite a host of interest from some of Europe's premier clubs.

Eriksen now admits that only the defending La Liga champions, rather than the Reds, would be the only club tempt him away from the Amsterdam Arena.

"If I got an offer from Liverool right now, I believe I would reject it," he admitted.

"Ajax is a good club for me at the moment and I believe it will be that for a couple of years.

"If I did move, it would have to be to FC Barcelona."

Arshavin wanted Barca and apparently he is playing for Barca practice team based in England. Be careful about ruling out firm bids.

He will never be good enough for either side. The most over rated player around.

Too bad. Another great talent that will get lost in the sea of superstars at Barca/Real Madrid. I think he could be a great asset to LFC.
