Ajax gaffer Alfred Schreuder insists that Mohammed Kudus is important to his side, as he reveals that they've spoken to the midfielder amidst transfer links to Everton.
Mohammed Kudus have reportedly informed Ajax about his desire to seek more playing time elsewhere, with English Premiership outfit Everton leading the race for his signature.
The 22-year-old has been reduced to a squad player, with him climbing off the bench in all their games, so far this season.
The Black Stars midfielder faces competition for a place in Otto Addo's Ghana squad for the World Cup in Qatar.
Alfred Schreuder says that Mohammed Kudus shouldn't leave Ajax, as he insists that he is crucial to his side.
"I haven't heard anything," Schreuder said at the press conference after the match against Sparta.
"I don't think he should leave. You can see that he is important. We need a lot of good players."
"We've spoken with him three times, because of course he also thinks he should play. He handles it well. Of course I see that he is disappointed now and then. That is also good and normal. You can keep emotion in check for the team. He handles that well. Today he showed a high level," he added.
