Ajax midfielder Mohammed Kudus has reportedly refused to turn up for training after the Amsterdam club blocked his proposed move to Everton.
According to Netherlands outlet De Telegraaf, personal terms have already been agreed between the Ghanaian international and the Blues, who was committed to making the switch to Premier League football. But Ajax do not want Kudus to leave, resulting in an impasse.
The Dutch champions have seen one of their star players Antony seal a big-money switch to Manchester United - who have already signed Lisandro Martinez from the same club - this week, after the Brazilian himself went on a training strike. And after setting a precedent, Kudus has followed suit in an attempt to force his move to Everton over the line.
