Liverpool 'join Chelsea and Arsenal in race' for £35m Ajax star David Neres

Liverpool have reportedly joined Chelsea and Arsenal in the race to land £35million-rated David Neres.

The Brazilian has starred for Ajax this season as the Dutch giants have blazed a trail to the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Real Madrid have also been linked with a move for the 22-year-old who will again be an important part of the Ajax side which faces Tottenham in the second leg in Amsterdam on Wednesday night.

And Liverpool have now joined their domestic rivals in the pursuit of the winger, according to The Sun.

Chelsea's interest will ultimately depend on their appeal against a transfer ban imposed by FIFA.

Arsenal have also declared an interest in Neres who moved to the Dutch capital from Sao Paulo three years ago.

Ajax are keen to avoid losing a clutch of their top young stars this summer after their unlikely run in the Champions League.

Frenkie De Jong has already agreed to join Barcelona while skipper Matthijs de Ligt is on the radar of all of Europe's big clubs.

And Neres is now rated alongside his teammates as one of the most sought-after signatures on the continent this summer.

He scored against Real Madrid in the last 16 and against Juventus in the quarter-finals to announce himself on the global stage.

Neres' form also led to a Brazil debut and he looks set to have the opportunity to cement a place in their squad for the 2022 World Cup.

Ajax would stand to make a huge profit on the £13million they paid to sign Neres in 2016.
