Ajax have entered the race for Everton winger Gerard Deulofeu and hope to beat AC Milan to his signature.
AC Milan have been in talks with Everton over the Spaniard and, though they have continued to drag on, are confident of thrashing out a loan with a right to buy.
It has been claimed that Deulofeu is keen to make the move to the San Siro.
But he is set to have another option on the table as he plots what move to make in this month's transfer window.
According to Dutch daily De Stentor, Ajax have now forced their way into the race for the wide-man and are set to rival AC Milan for his signature.

Similarly to the Rossoneri, Ajax want to take Deulofeu on loan for the remainder of the season.
Ajax feel they have a lack of options on the flank at present and believe Deulofeu, who is struggling for game time on Merseyside, would be a good addition.
However, Ajax know they have a tough task beating AC Milan to the 22-year-old.
