Ajax Say No Deal Agreed For Eriksen

Ajax have moved to deny reports that they have agreed a deal to sell Christian Eriksen to Liverpool this summer.

Recent reports have suggested the Premier League club are close to landing the highly-rated playmaker at the end of the season after courting his services for some time.

Eriksen's future at Ajax has been the subject of conjecture for some time with many of the top clubs across Europe linked with the talented Dane.

The 21-year-old has impressed for Ajax again this season, scoring 12 goals this term and he is the current Dutch Footballer of the Year.

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is keen to bolster his attacking options and Eriksen is believed to be one of his top targets this summer.

However, Ajax insist no deal has been agreed with Liverpool for the Denmark international's signature.

"We will send out a press release when there is an agreement," Ajax press manager Eefje Schep told Danish TV2.

"Also if there is only a deal between Ajax and the club. So at this time there is no agreement between Ajax and Liverpool."

Ajax are resigned to losing Eriksen this summer with the classy attacker turning down the club's offer of a new deal.

Ajax technical director Marc Overmars has reiterated that Eriksen, who has one year running on his current deal at the Amsterdam ArenA, has rejected the chance to extend his contract.

"Christian has informed us that he won't be signing a new deal with us at this time," Overmars told Voetbal International.

"I think that he and his agent will want to see what options are available in the summer.

Reds Target Drops Exit Hint

Danish ace Christian Eriksen has hinted he could be about to leave Ajax for one of the Premier League big boys after insisting his transfer fee will be left to the clubs.

The 21-year-old Ajax midfielder has caught the attentions of Manchester United, Tottenham and Arsenal but it is Liverpool who are believed to be favourites to land his signature.

Eriksen gets on well with his countryman Daniel Agger and he played with Luis Suarez at Ajax.

It is thought Ajax would demand a fee of around £17million for their star man, whose contract runs out at the end of next season.

The Denmark international told Dutch newspaper Het Parool: "I read that my asking price was €20million. That's a lot, yes, but I will leave that to the clubs."

The hot prospect made his international debut aged just 18 and has gone on to play 34 times for his country.

Ajax are three points clear of PSV at the top of Eredivisie.

LFC Frontrunners To Land Alderweireld

Liverpool are the frontrunners in the race to land Toby Alderweireld after the Belgium international gave the green light to a possible summer move to Anfield.

Manchester United, Everton and Newcastle are amongst a number of Premier League clubs believed to be interested in the highly-rated Ajax defender.

But the 24-year-old, who could cost up to £8million, told Belgium paper Het Laatste Nieuws: "I do not want to play in an English club to mid-table. Unlike Newcastle, Liverpool meets my criteria."

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has been searching for a new defender, with Jamie Carragher retiring at the end of the season.

The club have been regular visitors to Amsterdam in recent months and have been tracking midfielder Christian Eriksen but Alderweireld is also a player who would fit the criteria of those that the Fenway Sports Group, the club's American owners, like to sign.

Alderweireld has been capped 23 times by his country and has played for Ajax since 2008 after joining them from Beerschot.

He scored a late winner against Manchester United at Old Trafford to clinch a 2-1 win for Ajax in the second leg of the last 32 of last season's Europa League, but the Dutch side still went out 3-2 on aggregate.

Target Ready For Summer Offers

Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool target Christian Eriksen is ready to listen to offers from other clubs in the summer, according to his club Ajax.

Sir Alex Ferguson has been credited with an interest in the Denmark midfielder for some time and there have been reports of a bid coming out of Old Trafford.

Both Tottenham and Liverpool have also been linked with an interest Eriksen, so all three will have been encouraged by the comments by Ajax director of football, Marc Overmars.

The former Holland and Arsenal winger revealed Eriksen will likely assess the offers coming in from the host of clubs around Europe, including the trio of Premier League teams above.

He told Voetbal International: "I think Christian first wants to see what clubs next summer will come in for him."

However, Overmars was hopeful the young playmaker would decide to remain in Amsterdam and extend his current contract.

"If there is no suitable club for him in between this, I hope he stays at Ajax," he added.

Manchester United have been criticised for a lack of creativity at times this in the centre of their midfield and Eriksen would certainly go some way to addressing that problem.

Eriksen LFC Link

Ajax star Christian Eriksen has opened the door for a move to Tottenham or Liverpool after admitting his future could be in England.

The 20-year-old Denmark sensation has long been linked with a move to the Premier League, but has always brushed it off, insisting Spain or Italy are more likely destinations.

However, speaking to the Dutch media this week, Eriksen has now added England to that list, and also suggested he faces an unknown few months ahead over his future.

'I think that my future lies in England, Italy or Spain. These are the competitions that I like,' said Eriksen.

'I do not know what I will do in a few months' time yet, but I want to leave my mark before moving on.'

The comments will be music to the ears of the likes Manchester United and Manchester City, who have previously been known to hold an interest in Eriksen, while Tottenham and Liverpool have even been linked with bids in the last few months.

Eriksen is unlikely to come cheap though - Ajax have hinted that would like at least £20million for the pass-master, who is currently contracted to them until 2014.
