Eriksen will not sign new Ajax deal

The Christian Eriksen saga at Ajax has taken another twist after it was revealed that he does not want to sign a new deal at the club.



The 20-year-old is one of Europe's brightest prospects and a number of top clubs have shown an interest in the midfielder.

Premier League giants Manchester United and Liverpool have both been linked with the Denmark international who, just last week, refused to give anything away about his future and made it clear that he was focused on life in Amsterdam.

But now the club's technical director Marc Overmars has lifted the lid on the situation surrounding the player and confessed that the youngster is prepared to wait and see which clubs firm up their interest before deciding on his future.

"Christian has informed us that he doesn't want to sign a new contract right now," he said. "I think he and his agent want to see what opportunities present themselves this summer.

"We want him to stay here for at least two more years, but the day he leaves us, he will be ready to play for the very best. He's a player even the biggest clubs in the world could do with having in their squad."
