Ajax have identified Chelsea forward Bertrand Traore as a transfer target as they look for a replacement for Arkadiusz Milik who is about to join Napoli, as per a report from the Daily Mail.
The Polish star is the man Napoli have decided to buy to replace Gonzalo Higuain, and as the transfer merry-go-round spins, the knock-on effect of the Argentinian’s move to Juventus could see Traore make a switch to the Dutch giants.
Peter Bosz, Ajax’s head coach, worked with Traore when he was on loan at feeder club Vitesse Arnhem, so knows just how good he is and how much potential he has.
Ajax actually tried to sign the 20-year-old in January, but they couldn’t get a deal done, but it looks like they are going to try again.
The Burkina Faso international is clearly a talented young player, but with competition for places seemingly fierce in the Chelsea squad, it wouldn’t be a huge shock if Antonio Conte decided to let him leave.
