The 42-year-old tactician has admitted that the club will look to add new faces to the squad in the upcoming winter transfer market.
Frank de Boer, Ajax Amsterdam head coach, has hinted at the possibility of signing new players in the upcoming winter transfer market.
The Amsterdammers are currently sitting fourth in the Eredivisie league standings, four points behind the new league leaders, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Twente-c39233 Enschede.
However, they have already been knocked out of UEFA Champions League following their 1-4 defeat at the hands of Borussia Dortmund, and the Dutch trainer would be keen to finish third in the Group D to participate in UEFA Europa League after the winter break.
And the Dutch mentor has hinted that his side might be luring new faces to Amsterdam Arena in the January transfer window to strengthen his squad’s depth.
“Good players are always welcome. But you have to be careful, you might think that you need a certain player without realising you have cover”, De Boer was quoted as saying to the media.
Several of the Amsterdammers first team players are currently sidelined due to injuries with most notable Kolbeinn Sigthorsson and Ryan Babel, and the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 player has admitted that his side should also confirm before signing new players whether
they really need them.
“Suppose we move for a striker in the winter, and then Kolbeinn Sigthorsson and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Siem-de-Jong-c33482 and Christian Eriksen”, De Boer added.
De Joden have regularly brought players into the senior side from their own fabled youth academy, Jong Ajax, and the 42-year-old tactician has admitted that the club’s tradition of producing players from their youth system remain their primary ambition.
“We also have to remember the youth players who jump at the chance to make the step up. That is the power of Ajax”, De Boer concluded.
After guiding the Amsterdam giants to two successive Eredivisie titles, the Dutch trainer would be gunning to achieve the feat for the third time in a row as well come the end of the season.
