Bergwijn was in England on the weekend to see Fulham defeat Leicester City. The former Tottenham midfielder has been linked with the Foxes.

Ajax are encouraging offers and accept they will have to sell for less than the €30m they were seeking at the end of last season.

Bergwijn has a deal to 2027 and Leicester want to do business for around €20m.
