Liverpool defender Ki-Jana Hoever has no regrets leaving Ajax.

For many in Amsterdam, Hoever would now be a first team regular with Ajax if he had chosen to stay.

But the 18 year-old told Het Parool: “When I look at Ajax now, I don't think: I could have been there. Of course I do follow Ajax, especially because my friends Kenneth Taylor, Naci Ünüvar, Sontje Hansen and Ryan Gravenberch are doing well.

"In the plan of Ajax I would probably play in Jong Ajax now. Liverpool offered me a better perspective and I have never regretted my choice.

“Not every eighteen-year-old can say he has been through what I have been through at Liverpool. Even though I didn't really win those trophies myself. I mostly sat in the stands or on the bench, but I often trained with those boys.

"In the Super Cup and the Club World Cup I was in the squad and also received a medal. I didn't get a medal after winning the Premier League. For this you have to play at least five league matches. My new goal is to also make my debut in the Premier League."
