ESPN sources says we are looking for him now, since Ajax failed to qualify for CL knock-out stages.
Ajax apparently values him at £50 million.
Guess it is because Maddison and Graelish is out of reach.
EDIT: Beat me to it

Good player, can't see him costing 50m though.
Hasn't his form been patchy this season ?
ESPN are a terrible source.
I signed him on FM. Get him
Yep.
They have Delaney and Ogden on their books.
Just another bunch of BS clickbait journos.
One can dream.
I like what I've seen of him. Seems to fit the mould of what Ole wants in a no.10
But it's ESPN.

It makes a lot of sense. Ajax not in the CL anymore and he plays as No. 10 or box to box.
But is Van de Beek creative enough offensively to open teams up in the PL? He certainly has time on his side to develop.
I wouldn't say no.

Been a bit different role and deeper. Whole Ajax has been patchy a bit. Neres injured and neither De Beek nor Tadic up for their last year's highs yet.
Dont think he is all that
Another player we won't get.
Him and Ziyech double dealio, get it done woody!
Agreed.
Is he better than Lingard, Mata, Andreas? Then he is all that.
That's quite a low bar though.
I would like to see us getting him in. Although not sure he is a pure number 10. Ideally we would change our formation to play without a number 10 with him.
Get him and Soumare now.
Get Grealish in the Summer.
Midfield sorted.
P.S. None of this will happen.

Amen to that! Ziyech has to be a target surely
Maybe out of sheer panic, but we weren't interested in the summer, so would be surprised if we are now...
He’s not that great to be quite honest
Well he's only 22. I wouldn't expect him to be a great player just yet.
Certainly levels about the likes of Emre Can, Cheese Longstaff and Kalvin Philipps.
Get his teammate Ziyech instead.
He has end product. Jesse Lingard plays regularly for us and has none whilst Pereira is not much better in that regard.
Get them both!
Ziyech have impressed me much more and his creativity would be much welcomed!
So obvious this a brief from Woody after another low moment.
He's an interesting one. I was surprised Ajax was able to keep him last summer. Was it a case of no serious interest or Ajax not wanting to sell anymore after De Ligt and De Jong?
Can't really be happy for any signing coming into this..
A good manager could get a lot out of him. He is above most of the Pool midfielders in talent.
I say get Van de Beek now and don't wait for our lives to be over.
Makes Too much sense especially Ziyech. Would probably cost us less than 100m. Won't happen.
No need to rush things, we still have more than 3 weeks to consider and prepare the bid.Consider! So it’s not verified
Sad and true.
Would be nice.
Instead we will get Rice + Longstaff for £120m combined and the 11 will not be any better for it.
We just looking at him which means nothing is going to happen.
