thai sbo LIVERPOOL star Georginio Wijnaldum has been impressed by the talents of Ajax youngster Frenkie de Jong. The Reds midfielder has witnessed De Jong's ability at close range in the Holland squad this week. Both players were in action during the Netherlands 2-1 defeat to France. "Frenkie is a great player, he did a good job," Wijnaldum said. "Frenkie makes it easier for us by the way he plays football.
"He plays in a daring way. It does not surprise me. "A lot has been written about him lately, so I've been watching how he plays at Ajax." thai sbo De Jong has been linked with Tottenham and Barcelona, but Wijnaldum has urged him not to rush things. He added: "He is doing very well now, but we have often had Dutch players who first played very well, but later became less.
"Often it is often called: he can do this and that, he can become so good. "Frenkie is 21 years old, anything can happen." De Jong has said he expects to spend the season with Ajax, but sporting director Marc Overmars is expecting Barcelona to return when the transfer window opens in January. “Barcelona did not value De Jong,” he said.
”Barcelona may return thai sbo for Frenkie in January but it's unlikely that players will leave in that period.” Reports claimed that Barcelona offered Ajax £25m for their midfielder but were told he was not for sale. Tottenham also apparently made a bigger bid and met with the same response. De Jong had made 37 appearances for Ajax to date.
