Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in Donny van de Beek of Ajax.

Marc Overmars, Director of Football at Ajax looks on prior to the Eredivisie match between De Graafschap and Ajax at Stadion De Vijverberg on May 15, 2019 in Doetinchem, Netherlands.

Ajax director of football Marc Overmars has said that the club do not want to sell reported Tottenham Hotspur target Donny van de Beek, as quoted in Calciomercato.com.

According to The Daily Mail, Tottenham are among the clubs who are interested in securing the services of Van de Beek in the summer transfer window.

German clubs Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are also reported to be interested in the 22-year-old midfielder, who is claimed to be valued at £43 million.

Ajax director of football Marc Overmars has said that the Dutch giants do not want to lose the youngster and hope to reward the Netherlands international with a new contract.

Calciomercato.com quotes Overmars as saying about Van de Beek: “He has really improved as a footballer and we don’t want to lose him. He has been improving and we want to reward him for this.”

Good signing for Tottenham Hotspur

It is a long summer and anything could happen in the transfer window, and if Tottenham are determined to sign Van de Beek, then they should make an offer.

A big bid for the Dutchman could change Ajax’s current stance, and there is no doubt that the youngster will be a smart addition to Mauricio Pochettino’s side.

According to WhoScored, the 22-year-old made 28 starts and six substitute appearances in the Eredivisie this season, scoring nine goals and providing 10 assists in the process.

Elif Elmas competition

Meanwhile, Tottenham are reportedly facing competition from Manchester United and Manchester City for Elif Elmas of Fenerbahce.

It has been reported by The Daily Mail that United, City and Tottenham all are interested in signing the 19-year-old midfielder from Turkish giants Fenerbahce this summer.
