TRANSFER: De Boer waiting for offers

Manager Frank de Boer has told Sky Sports he
has no intention of leaving Ajax this summer
but will listen to an offer from Tottenham if
one comes.
The Dutch champions claim they have already
had an enquiry from Spurs about De Boer's
availability, but that was refuted by the
Premier League club in midweek.
De Boer is favourite with the bookmakers to
take over from Tim Sherwood, who replaced
Andre Villas-Boas midway through the
2013-14 season, although there are reports in
the Sunday newspapers they have switched
their attention to Southampton manager
Mauricio Pochettino.
Ajax celebrated their 33rd title on Saturday,
finishing the season with a 2-2 draw against
NEC Nijmegen, and De Boer talked about the
possibility of a new challenge at a press
conference afterwards.
"I'm not thinking about the future right now,"
De Boer told Sky Sports.
"I have no intention to leave the club. When
Tottenham Hotspur maybe will come, I will
talk - not only Tottenham maybe other clubs
who I think I am interested in, I will listen.
"I am very happy here. On June 23 we start
again our preparation. That is what I am
thinking about, first I have to get a signal from
other clubs and then I will see."
Former Liverpool midfielder Christian Poulsen,
who captained Ajax on Saturday, thinks De
Boer would be a success in England.
He said: "For me, he is a winner. Everybody
who works with around him would say that.
He's really professional, he has been building
things up here the last four years at Ajax.
"Every year he puts something on, specialists
for the physical and for the mind. He's a good
coach but he is also good at leaving
responsibility to others. I have only good
things to say."
