  • Ajax Amsterdam have no intentions of letting Ghanaian midfielder Mohammed Kudus leave in the summer transfer window
  • The Black Stars midfielder is frustrated by the limited playing time so far this season after three matches in the new campaign
  • Mohammed Kudus has been linked with a move to English Premier League side Everton in the transfer window

Mohammed Kudus has had three crucial meetings with the handlers of Ajax including coach Alfred Schreuder over his limited game time.

The midfielder who was Ajax's best player during pre-season has played only 24 minutes of the Eredivisie this season.

The limited role has left the Ghanaian frustrated with the club having to meet the player three times before Sunday's game at Sparta Rotterdam.

"We spoke with him 3 times, because he also thinks he should play," said Alfred Schreuder to Voetbal International as quoted by GHANASoccernet.

"Of course I see that he is disappointed now and then. That is also good and normal. It is about whether you can control that emotion for the team. He handles that well," he added.

Mohammed Kudus has reportedly being linked with a move to English Premier League side Everton, but the manager has denied contacts with the Toffees insisting the club wants the 22-year-old to stay.

"I think he should not leave," said Schreuder. "You can see that he is important. We need a lot of good players," he added.

The former FC Nordsjaelland player has two years remaining on his current deal but his future in the Dutch Eredivisie seems to be in doubt.

Everton show interest in Ghana midfielder Mohammed Kudus

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Everton are set to sign Ghanaian midfielder Mohammed Kudus in the summer transfer window from Dutch giants Ajax.

The 22-year-old is expected to sign a one-year loan deal with the Merseyside club, with Everton having the option of making it a permanent move.

According to GHANASoccernet.com, the player is at advanced stages of talks with the Toffees and will join them before the end of the transfer window.
