Ajax signed Noussair Mazraoui to a new contract earlier this year.
Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly tracking talented Ajax star Noussair Mazraoui.
AS Roma Live report Spurs are one of the sides Roma are competing with for the player’s signature.
The 21-year-old full-back is highly rated, featuring 11 times for Ajax already this season.
He would be a good addition for Tottenham, who need strengthening at both left and right back positions. Mazraoui can play in both.
Mazraoui did sign a new contract at Ajax earlier this year, back in March.
Ajax director of football Marc Overmars said at the time that Mazraoui had opportunity to move abroad, but was glad that he stayed.
He told the club website: “Noussair is only 21 and can play in several positions. We’ve had good discussions about his future with his agent Mustapha Nakhli. Naturally he could go abroad, but it’s great that they both feel that a longer stay at Ajax would be best for ‘Nous’”
Ajax have him under contract until 2022, and it would take a sizeable offer to make them decide to cash in.
By time the transfer window comes around, it will be nearly a year since he stayed to commit.
Tottenham need to find out if his desire for a move has changed, otherwise their pursuit of the Moroccan may lead to a dead end.
