Ajax Admit Chelsea Target Could Leave Club In January


Ajax admit they will be powerless to stop Gregory van der Wiel leaving in January if a 'sensible' bid came in.

talkSPORT revealed earlier this summer the Dutch full-back was being tracked by Chelsea but they were desperate to keep hold of him in the transfer window.

Manager Martin Jol has a lack of funds at his disposal and has been told player departures are a main way in which he can improve his situation at the Amsterdam Arena.

Carlo Ancelotti is said to be monitoring van der Wiel this season and officials at Ajax claim they are aware of interest from another Premier League club.

And now Ajax insiders are bracing themselves for a bid in January - with a bid for the 22-year-old between £12-£15m likely to make them listen.

A source close to the club has confirmed that two Premier League teams have requested 'representative passes' to watch Ajax matches this season, with van der Wiel likely to be the main attraction.

Luis Suarez, the free-scoring Ajax striker, remains settled in Holland for now but the future of Dutchman van der Wiel is not as certain.
