Everton's hopes of snapping up young Ajax midfielder Mohammed Kudus have hit an obstacle - after the Amsterdam club's new manager expressed his desire to keep the playmaker.
The Blues have been expected to sign the 22-year-old Ghana international on loan with an option to make it a permanent move. But Alfred Schreuder, who replaced Erik ten Hag following his move to Manchester United, claims to no nothing about it.
Speaking to Voetbal International, the Ajax boss said: “I haven’t heard anything. I think he should not leave. You can see that he is important. We need a lot of good players.”
