Dutch champions Ajax are trying to steal a march on Manchester United in the pursuit of talented Ghana winger Kamaldeen Sulemana.
Ajax’s director of football and former Arsenal winger Marc Overmars is set to travel to Denmark on Monday to watch 19-year-old Sulemana play for his club Nordsjælland against FC Copenhagen.
The Amsterdam club have already had a £10million bid turned down for the winger in the January transfer window but are poised to go in with a higher offer to get the deal done quickly and fend off interest from United’s transfer chief Matt Judge and German club Bayer Leverkusen.
