Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen claims he would not consider a move to Liverpool, saying Barcelona is the only club that could tempt him away from Ajax.

The highly-rated teenager has been linked with the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool, and Reds assistant manager Sammy Lee was recently spotted on a scouting trip to watch the 19-year-old in action.

Eriksen has a contract at Ajax until 2014, and the Denmark international says he would turn down any offer to join the Premier League.

"If I got an offer from Liverpool right now, I believe I would reject it," Eriksen told the Danish media.

"Ajax is a good club for me at the moment and I believe it will be that for a couple of years. If I did move, it would have to be to FC Barcelona."
