Liverpool Recall James McConnell After Ajax Loan Is Terminated

Liverpool will weigh Championship loan offers later in January following the midfielder's lack of game time in Amsterdam.

Overview

  • Liverpool and Ajax agreed to end the season-long deal early, with McConnell already training at the AXA Training Centre.
  • The 21-year-old logged just seven appearances, two starts and 219 minutes for Ajax before falling out of the lineup.
  • His opportunities dwindled after John Heitinga was sacked in early November, with subsequent selections leaving him unused.
  • West Brom, Derby, Oxford United and Swansea City are among clubs credited with interest, and Liverpool expect to decide on any new loan later in the window.
  • FA Cup involvement against Barnsley could limit immediate re-loan options under the two-club rule, while fellow loanee Vitezslav Jaros remains in Ajax’s plans.
