AJAX CAPTAIN AND DEFENDER, DE LIGT CALM OVER FUTURE

Ajax captain Matthijs de Ligt insisted he was still assessing his future amid links to Barcelona and the Premier League.

De Ligt, 19, is widely expected to leave Ajax after winning the Eredivisie title on Wednesday in the off-season.

The centre-back has been linked with the big guns which include the likes of Barcelona, Liverpool, Manchester United, Juventus and Bayern Munich.

But after Ajax beat De Graafschap 4-1 for their first league title since 2014, De Ligt said he needed time to consider his future

Ajax’s league triumph saw them claim a domestic double after also winning the KNVB Beker, easing some of the pain following their Champions League semi-final exit.

De Ligt was delighted with Ajax’s campaign, saying: “It is indescribable. We have been craving this for five years.
