Former Newcastle United defender Daryl Janmaat linked with Liverpool move

Former Newcastle United defender Daryl Janmaat has been linked with a move that would prove to be a career lifeline - with Liverpool potential suitors amid a defensive crisis.

The 31-year-old left Watford after relegation and also quit Newcastle under a cloud when the Magpies dropped into the Sky Bet Championship in 2016.

Janmaat has been unable to find a new club but injuries to Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez mean the Reds and Jurgen Klopp need defensive cover.

Understandably, Janmaat would jump at the chance of a move to the champions and has been handed a glowing reference by another ex-Mag in Gini Wijnaldum.

Neither Janmaat or his agent were prepared to comment on the record when approached by Chronicle Live after a day speculation linking him with a short-term deal on Merseyside.
