Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with Matthijs de Ligt of Ajax in the summer transfer window.
According to The Sun, Tottenham are interested in signing De Ligt from Ajax in the summer transfer window.
It has been reported by the British tabloid that Spurs are lining up a £45 million bid for the 18-year-old Ajax central defender.
The Netherlands international centre-back, though, who earns £13,000 per week as salary according to The Mirror, does not seem to be aware of any interest from Spurs.
De Ligt told The Mirror regarding reported interest from Tottenham: “I don’t know anything about it – and neither does my agent.”
Good long-term signing
De Ligt is one of the best young centre-backs in Europe, and his performances for Ajax this season have been brilliant.
There is no doubt that the youngster would be a very good signing for Tottenham, especially in the long run.
Given the Dutchman’s age, it could take him a while to adapt to the Premier League, but working under a manager like Mauricio Pochettino would see him improve and develop.
While £45m for an 18-year-old playing in the Eredivisie in the Netherlands may sound a lot, but it could pay off big time in the future.
