Ajax boss Alfred Schreuder has revealed what he told Mohammed Kudus in order to keep him at the club amid interest from Everton during the summer.
Kudus was wanted by the Blues in the closing weeks of the window, with one report at the time suggesting that a loan deal had been agreed. However, no deals never fully materialised, despite rumours in the Netherlands suggesting the 22-year-old was refusing to train in order to force through a move.
At the time it was claimed that the Dutch champions were insistent that they didn’t lose any more players after a summer of considerable outgoings. And now addressing the interest, Schreuder has revealed he informed Kudus he would become a key member of his squad this season if he remained at the Johan Cruijff ArenA.
