Liverpool hero Kuyt to be part of League One takeover by Dutch group

Liverpool hero Dirk Kuyt is returning to English football as part of a new club takeover.

Dutch agent Rob Jansen is in advanced talks to buy a League One club, with several of his clients involved - including Kuyt.

Speaking on Jaïr in goed Gezelschap, to be aired on Dutch TV tonight, Jansen confirmed his plans.

He also told AD: "It is a long-held wish to buy a club together with the number of players and former players for whom I am doing business .

"I and the players have a utopian image of how that club should be led and what it takes to achieve the best. I am really looking forward to this adventure. I think there is a good chance that it will work out."

Kuyt, currently Feyenoord U19 coach, is set to be involved in the management side of the operation.
