Ajax Coach Ronald De Boer Advises Matthijs De Ligt to Consider Premier League Move

Ajax Under-19 coach Ronald De Boer has advised star centre back Matthijs De Ligt to consider moving to the Premier League this summer, if he is to leave the Dutch side.

The teenage defender has a host of top European clubs chasing his signature following an excellent campaign where, as captain, he has led the team to a place in the Champions League semi-finals, as well as first position in the Eredivisie.

De Ligt's performances for Ajax and Holland have been so impressive that De Boer insists he has the pick of any side he wants should he decide to move on, adding that he has all the attributes to be a success in England.
