Donny Van de Beek shone in Ajax’s Champions League demolition of Real Madrid and could head to the Premier League with Everton.
Everton are interested in signing Donny Van de Beek after the Ajax midfielder shone in their famous Champions League win at Real Madrid on Tuesday, as reported by Bleacher Report.
Van de Beek might have been outshone by the likes of Dusan Tadic and Hakim Ziyech as Erik Ten Haag’s side triumphed 4-1 at the Santiago Bernabau, but his role in the European champions’ demise should not be understated.
The 21-year-old caused countless problems with his intelligent runs into the penalty area, a trait that has seen him score 12 goals this season and earn comparisons with Manchester United legend Paul Scholes.
As a result, Van de Beek has been tipped to follow Barcelona-bound Frenkie de Jong in sealing a move away from Ajax and BR believes that Everton are interested.
Director of football Marcel Brands will be fully aware of the Dutch international from his time in the Eredivisie with PSV Eindhoven and he is exactly the kind of talented rough diamond the transfer chief adores.
Calciomercato reported that Ajax will demand around £35 million for Van de Beek. And Everton will be hopeful that he can settle better in England than his former Ajax teammate Davy Klaassen – a disastrous 2016 signing – ever did.
