Tottenham chase Ajax starlet

 

Tottenham have earmarked Ajax midfielder Donny van de Beek as a top transfer target this summer, claims The Sun.

 

Van De Beek scored the only goal of the game as Ajax beat Tottenham 1-0 in their Champions League semi-final first leg encounter last week.

 

The 22-year-old is one of several top performing Ajax youngsters this season and has attracted interest from a range of top European clubs.

With Christian Eriksen on course to leave Tottenham this summer, Mauricio Pochettino is ready to return to Ajax for his replacement.

 

Van De Beek still has three years left to run on his existing Ajax deal and the attacking midfielder is valued at £45m.

 

The Netherlands international has impressively played a direct hand in 17 goals in 32 league appearances from central midfield this season (eight goals, nine assists).
