Ajax wonderkid Dolberg won't push for super-club move

The teenage sensation won’t aggressively pursue an exit out of Amsterdam.

KASPER DOLBERG IS happy to stay at Ajax but the club’s director Marc Overmars could be pivotal in deciding his future with “every single one” of Europe’s elite clubs having scouted him, Goal understands.

The 19-year-old has been watched by scouts from Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Lyon and Juventus, but Dolberg is cautious about making a move too early in his career as he prioritises his professional development.

Everton are braced to lose Romelu Lukaku and they were reportedly preparing a huge bid to bring in Dolberg.

However, there has been no contact between Everton, Ajax or Dolberg’s representatives yet as the youngster prepares to help his side win the Europe League against Manchester United tonight.

Ajax director of football Overmars could be prepared to sell Dolberg if the club receives an exceptional offer for him.

The Denmark international is thought to be valued at around £30 million by the Amsterdam outfit – a similar fee to Arkadiusz Milik, who moved from the Dutch capital to Napoli last summer.

Dolberg joined Ajax from Silkeborg IF in 2015 and he has scored 16 goals in 29 league games this season.

    Its as much, if not more, down to youth coaching in England. Its easier to encourage getting ‘stuck in’ than spending hours developing touch and technique. There is also a ‘win at all cost’ attitude from a very young age and a focus on the individual.

    If you must use words or expressions please be sure that they mean what you think they mean a “superiority complex” is a contradiction in terms.
