Reds in Babel hunt - Agent
09 January 2007
Babel impressed as the Dutch Under-21 side won the recent European Championships and has been heavily linked with a move to Arsenal, but it now appears Liverpool have joined the race to sign the 20-year-old.
His agent Winnie Haatrecht told Sportweek magazine: "I can say nothing about transfer fees, but I can confirm that Liverpool have made a bid for Ryan."
He added: "Ryan himself hasn't spoken with that club.
"Only when Ajax say that the clubs have an agreement can we speak, and phase two starts.
"But it's not that far yet. We first have to wait to see if the clubs reach a deal or not."
Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez admitted last week that he was on the lookout for wingers after signing striker Fernando Torres from Atletico Madrid.
Babel made 27 Eredivisie appearances for Ajax last season, scoring five goals.
