Ajax star Christian Eriksen has revealed his admiration for Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp.

The Bundesliga outfit are believed to be leading the chase to sign the Danish international, who is likely to leave the Amsterdam ArenA this summer.

"Jurgen Klopp seems like a really good coach and a great person," Eriksen told Sporten.dk. "It can be the difference for me to get a charismatic coach with a tendency to use younger players.

"It is the coach who chooses the team so it is important for me to play for a coach who I can trust and who you can build a good relationship with.

"My next club has to express that they really want me. I have to feel that it is the right place and then their style of play has to fit me. I can't play in a club that prefers to play with long balls."

Liverpool have also been linked with a move for the 21-year-old midfielder.
