The former Birmingham City stopper could very well join the Eredivisie champions, who are on the lookout for defensive reinforcements since selling Jan Vertonghen to Tottenham Hotspur.
Reports in Sky Sports and Voetbal International confirm that Ajax Amsterdam have expressed keen interest in luring Blackburn Rovers central defender, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Scott-Dann-c32662, to Amsterdam Arena on a season-long loan deal.
The Amsterdammers are in search of a new centre-back after selling http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jan-Vertonghen-c17814 to Tottenham Hotspur earlier this month.
De Joden earlier earmarked http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Douglas-c11600 as the possible replacements for the Belgian stopper. However, the Amsterdam giants have now turned their attention towards the Blue and
Whites centre-back, who has been plying his trade Ewood Park since the summer of 2011.
The Riversiders are reconciled to losing several of their players including the English stopper before the summer transfer window slams shut following the club’s relegation from the English Premier League in the 2011/12 campaign.
Dann, who started his professional career at Walsall in the 2004/05 season, has thus far donned the jersey of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rovers-c40385 in 27 league matches, and his consistent showings at the back have not gone unnoticed.
West Ham United, Sunderland and Southampton are reportedly interested in signing the 25-year-old centre-back. However, the Amsterdam giants are hoping to seal the deal by offering a lucrative offer to Steve Kean’s side at the earliest.
Reports indicate that Blackburn would prefer selling their prized asset in the ongoing summer transfer window rather than loaning him out.
The talented central defender has an ongoing contract at Ewood Park that runs until the summer of 2015, but reports indicate that the Npower Championship side will cash in on their prized asset if an offer in the region of seven
million Euros comes in this summer.
It is believed that the interested English Premier League sides are sitting in pole position to sign the English defender.
However, Ajax are confident that they can lure the centre-back to Amsterdam Arena on a season-long loan deal, as they will be participating in the UEFA Champions League next term that would tempt the 25-year-old to snub interest
from other clubs.
