The Dutch international has been an integral part of Frank de Boer’s side, and his agent Harry Lulofs has now stressed that a summer move to the English Premier league seems likely to be materialised.

Ajax Amsterdam defensive midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vurnon-Anita-c36486, has been performing consistently for the past couple of seasons at Amsterdam Arena. The Dutch international has undoubtedly played an integral role in his side’s two successive
Eredivisie title triumphs.
Following his good performances, several top European clubs have expressed keen interest in signing the 23-year-old this summer including English Premier League outfits, Newcastle United and Norwich City.
The defensive midfielder's agent, Harry Lulofs, has now confirmed reports linking his client to a number of European clubs, and has stressed a move to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 looks likely this summer.
“Ajax are very satisfied with the guy Anita and want to keep him, but Newcastle have been watching him for a long time and really want to sign him. This is the first offer Ajax have received for Vurnon and we'll soon see how they
react”, Lulofs was quoted as saying to the media.
Anita’s agent went on to reveal that apart from the Magpies, Norwich also expressed interest before http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paul-c29347 Lambert left to take the reins of Aston Villa.
“The only other Premier League club to get in touch was Norwich. Paul Lambert called me to ask about him. Now he has moved to Aston Villa so maybe they will be in touch. I don't know”, Lulofs concluded.
The Dutch midfielder, who started his professional career at Amsterdam Arena in the 2005/06 season after graduating from De Joden’s youth academy, has thus far donned the jersey of the Amsterdammers in 103 Eredivisie matches.
The Dutchman has an ongoing contract with the Eredivisie champions that runs until the summer of 2014. The Ajax management have made it clear that they do not want to let go of their prized asset this summer.
However, reports indicate that the Amsterdammers management will cash in on the Dutch international if an offer in the region of 10 million Euros comes in before the summer transfer window slams shut.
