Overview
- Multiple outlets report Ajax and Liverpool have agreed to end the season-long loan early, with McConnell expected back at Anfield in January.
- McConnell logged only seven appearances and around 219 minutes, with his opportunities shrinking after John Heitinga’s dismissal in early November.
- West Brom, Derby County, Oxford United and Swansea City are cited as potential destinations if Liverpool arrange a fresh short-term move.
- Liverpool must consider FA Cup usage because an appearance would invoke the two-club rule and prevent another loan for the rest of the season.
- McConnell signed a new five-year Liverpool contract before joining Ajax, and Dutch reports indicate Ajax will look for a more experienced holding midfielder next month.
