Ajax transfer opens the door for Spurs to sign Matthijs de Ligt
Young defender is high on Tottenham's wishlist this summer
Matthijs de Ligt - a name constantly linked with Tottenham.
Interest in the talented teenager surfaced last month and Spurs have been tracking him for some time.
Despite being just 18 years old, de Ligt has been an ever-present for Ajax this season and became the youngest ever captain in Dutch professional football when he donned the armband for the Eredivisie side back in January.
Spurs have good history in dealing with the Dutch giants, with Davinson Sanchez, Jan Vertonghen and Christian Eriksen all making successful moves to north London in recent years.
That will give the north Londoners the edge when it comes to negotiations against the likes of Manchester United and Barcelona for his signature.
And a move to Spurs has moved closer with Ajax reportedly close to bringing in de Ligt's replacement.
The Eredivisie runners-up are on the verge of tying up a deal for Lisandro Magallan having reached an agreement with Boca Juniors for the 24-year-old defender.
Magallan is expected to be unveiled as an Ajax player in the next 48 hours and that will open the door for de Ligt to make the move to the Premier League.
