Tottenham Hotspur's hopes of signing young Ajax defender Matthijs de Ligt have been given a huge boost, with the Eredivisie side making significant movement towards an agreement to sign a potential replacement for the player.
18-year-old de Ligt became the Dutch league's youngest ever captain this season, becoming a first-team regular and making 39 appearances for his club in all competitions.
However, according to reports from football.london, Ajax have progressed in their talks to sign Boca Juniors' Lisandro Magallán as his replacement, and this would mean de Ligt having the green light to leave this summer.
