According to BT, Nordsjaelland have a deal in place to sell star teenager Mohammed Kudus to Ajax despite Premier League links.
It’s claimed that Ajax will be paying just €9million (£8.2million) to sign Kudus, which seems like a real bargain.
Kudus has allegedly agreed a deal with Ajax already, and will sign a five-year deal with the Amsterdam giants when the Danish season ends.
After taking a few days to consider his options, Kudus has now picked a move to Ajax, leaving Premier League sides disappointed.
Foot Mercato reported in May that Tottenham wanted to sign Kudus, whilst Ghana Soccernet reported in April that Newcastle United’s potential new owners wanted him.
Het Belang van Limburg added in May that Everton fancied Kudus, but all three have missed out with Ajax securing a deal.
Kudus, 19, racked up 11 first-team goals this season, impressing as a number 10, right-sided winger or as a striker, with his versatility appealing.
The Ghanaian is small and nimble, using his low centre of gravity and audacious tricks to bamboozle defenders. That could have been exciting in the Premier League, but Ajax have got in to land a bargain – and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see them make a huge profit on him.
