The 19-year-old has fallen down the pecking order at Anfield with the arrival of countrymen Iago Aspas and Luis Alberto, and will seek further experience in his homeland

Liverpool have announced that midfielder Suso has joined Almeria on a season-long loan deal.

The 19-year-old, who shone with Spain at the Under-20 World Cup in Turkey this summer, has fallen down the Reds pecking order following the arrival of countrymen Luis Alberto and Iago Aspas.

He will now seek to gain regular first-team experience with the newly-promoted Liga side.

Suso moved to Anfield from Cadiz in the summer of 2010 and went on to make 20 appearances in all competitions under Brendan Rodgers last season.

The Ajax coach feels that the Reds’ playing style under Brendan Rodgers would not suit the young Denmark international but admits the decision is ultimately up to the player

Ajax coach Frank de Boer has warned Christian Eriksen against a move to Liverpool.

The Denmark international has been linked with a switch to Anfield, as well as other clubs such as Roma and Borussia Dortmund, in recent months. 

However, since the Bundesliga side signed attacking midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan last week, Eriksen’s most likely destination looks set to be Liverpool – a move De Boer feels would be unwise.

“If they play as they do now, I would not go”, the former Netherlands international told Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad.

“The playing style would not suit his own but, ultimately, it is for Chris himself to decide.”

Eriksen, 21, has just one year remaining on his current contract at the Amsterdam ArenA and looks set to leave before the end of the transfer window.

Should he move to Anfield, he would join an impressive array of attacking talent, with Brendan Rodgers having added signings such as Iago Aspas and Luis Alberto to his squad in the close-season.

Rodgers also has the likes of Daniel Sturridge, Philippe Coutinho and Luis Suarez to call on as he attempts to improve his side’s seventh-place finish in the Premier League last season. 

The Anfield boss is pleased with the competition for places, especially in the goalkeeping department, but feels Andy Carroll’s departure has benefited Luiz Suarez

Brendan Rodgers says creating competition for places is key to Liverpool’s summer plans and feels Simon Mignolet’s arrivals will improve Pepe Reina’s performances.

Mignolet moved to Anfield from Sunderland for a reported £9 million fee in June before outlining his ambition to usurp the current No.1 – who has missed just 20 league games in eight seasons.

“That was the idea for the summer [competition for places],” Rodgers told talkSPORT.

“Our recruitment team did a brilliant job when we sat down at the end of the last season on where we can strengthen the squad and build that competition in the group. We were very thin in the group last year.”

“Simon Mignolet’s been a top keeper for the last few seasons now in the Premier League and Pepe Reina’s been here for a number of years and been an outstanding keeper but in every position on the field there has to be competition to push people’s performances.”

Rodgers, although, has no regrets regarding the departure of Andy Carroll to West Ham, insisting his now-permanent departure has aided Luis Suarez’s attacking output.

“That was a decision that needed to be made,” he said. “Luis benefited from that and went on to have a terrific season.

“Andy went out and did really well on loan and obviously [West Ham manager Sam Allardyce] came in and wanted to buy him.

“He’s a good, big guy, he’ll go away and do really well for West Ham. As a manager you have to make a decision and that’s what I did.”
