Eriksen slated for Ajax stay

Denmark international Christian Eriksen intends to stay at Ajax for at least another season, according to his agent.

Eriksen has been linked with moves to AC Milan, Arsenal and Manchester United after facing the Red Devils in the Europa League

earlier this season.

But representative Martin Schoot said the 20-year-old would benefit from continuing his development at the Eredivisie champions.

"The timing is not right as Christian needs to continue to grow in his game at Ajax," Schoot told Sporten.

"Milan is a very interesting club and a big step forward, but I do not know if he is ready for such an important and great club yet."

The talented playmaker has been instrumental in Ajax's attack this season alongside Miralem Sulejmani and Nicolas Lodeiro.

Earlier this week Frank de Boer said he hopes Eriksen 'remains at Ajax for the next five years'.
