Ajax are reportedly interested in signing former youth team player Luciano Narsingh from Heerenveen in the January transfer window.
Narsingh, 21, has been in fine form during the 2011-12 campaign, scoring five Eredivisie goals and setting up 12 more.
Such good performances have not gone unnoticed at the Amsterdam ArenA, where Narsingh spent time as a youth player before making his full debut for Heerenveen in 2008.
We are interested in signing him. Do we want him this winter? That s certainly an option, Ajax head coach Frank de Boer told De Telegraaf.
We are currently looking into the possibilities of a transfer. We want to sign him, and it s now up to (sporting director) Danny Blind to make a move.
Mino Raiola, Narsingh s agent, claims the Eredivisie champions have already contacted him about a potential transfer, and the winger appears to be keen to return his former club.
They ve been in touch with me, Raiola said.
Luciano s focused on Heerenveen for now, but he was born and raised in Amsterdam. Who wouldn t want to play for his boyhood team?
Narsingh is contracted to Heerenveen until the end of the 2012/13 season, and a fee in the region of six million euros would likely be needed to lure him away from the Abe Lenstra Stadion.
