Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool are reportedly among the clubs interested in Frenkie de Jong of Ajax.
Graham Roberts has praised reported Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool target Frenkie de Jong on Twitter.
According to Sport, De Jong has agreed to move to Spanish and European giants Barcelona.
The report, though, has claimed that Ajax are holding out for £70 million as transfer fee for the 21-year-old midfielder, but Barcelona reportedly do not want to pay that much.
Former Tottenham defender Roberts has suggested on Twitter that Ajax should not lower their demands for De Jong.
Roberts has also praised the Netherlands internationals midfielder, who is one of the best and most talented young players in Europe.
According to AS, Liverpool are interested in De Jong, who is on the radar of Tottenham, according to Mundo Deportivo.
With Ajax reportedly wanting as much as £70m for De Jong as transfer fee, it is hard to see Tottenham cough up that much cash, especially in the January transfer window.
As for Liverpool, the Merseyside outfit are not exactly in desperate need for De Jong at the moment and could do without the youngster for one or two more seasons at least.
