According to reports, Manchester City are set to sign 21-year old Ajax midfielder Frenkie de Jong in the summer. De Jong is one of the brightest young talents in Europe and several clubs have shown interest in him. These include Barcelona and Tottenham. However, it seems that City have won the race and will sign the Dutchman for ÂŁ6 million in the summer.

Frenkie de Jong has been in good form for Ajax this season so far, scoring two goals in 19 appearances. He has also become an integral part of a resurgent Netherlands team. De Jong played his fourth international match against France on Friday and won the penalty that led to Netherlands’ second goal.

Apart from his sound technicality, creativity and passing accuracy, de Jong has immense speed which is a very important attribute to play in Manchester City and in general, the Premier League. Being a holding midfielder, he could be a suitable replacement for Fernandinho who is currently approaching his mid-30s.
