Tottenham hope to agree deal with Ajax for de Ligt

According to The S*n, Tottenham Hotspur are hoping to land the signature of Ajax defender Matthijs de Ligt as a potential replacement for Chelsea and Manchester United-linked Toby Alderweireld who is rumoured to be considering his future.

De Ligt has rose through the youth ranks to the Ajax first-team in 2016 and has gone on to make 60 appearances in all competitions at the tender age of 18. The defender has also made five appearances for the Netherlands national team and has been tipped for a bright future.

He’s been an ever-present for Ajax this season, making 31 league appearances and contributing four goals.
