Man Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal all urged to raid Ajax for up to FIVE players

Ajax youngsters are set to be in demand in the summer - and their Champions League run has certainly helped put them in the shop window.

The Amsterdam side beat Tottenham 1-0 in the first leg of their semi-final first leg as a group of players relatively unknown at the start of the campaign continue to impress.

Whilst Frenkie De Jong has already agreed a big-money move to Barcelona in the summer, a number of team-mates are expected to follow suit with huge clubs circling.

Centre-back and captain Matthijs De Ligt is a target for Manchester United , Liverpool , Juventus and Barcelona as the main man in demand.

But forward David Neres, linked with Arsenal and Liverpool, is also in-demand along with midfielder Donny van de Beek, who scored the winner at Spurs.

Hakim Ziyech also impressed, as well as defender Nicolas Tagliafico, who has been reported to be a Gunners target.

All five names were regularly being mentioned by supporters of Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal as they reacted to Ajax's performance in north London on social media.

All three clubs are eyeing a big summer, with United and Arsenal undergoing rebuilding phases and Liverpool aiming to consolidate their success under Jurgen Klopp.

It seems a raid of Ajax for multiple players is what supporters want having been impressed by their stunning Champions League breakthrough.

One Liverpool fan stated: "De Ligt, Neres and Ziyech would be the perfect package" with another adding "I'd take Tagliafico, De ligt, Neres and Ziyech next season".

"I'd happily take Neres or Van De Beek for the Reds. De Ligt would be too expensive now," another Liverpool supporter added.

A Manchester United fan said: "Ziyech is the main one we should be in for. Only £40m as well apparently, that's a bargain. Would happily take De ligt, FDJ, De beek, Ziyech, Neres, Tagliafico . I like their main RB as well."

A fellow Red Devil said: "Neres, De Ligt And Ziyech needed at my club" with another commenting: "Ziyech, De Ligt, Neres. Get it done Man Utd."

An Arsenal fan commented: "I’ll take De Ligt, De Beek, Tagliafico and Neres thanks" with a fellow supporter pleading: "Arsenal please take note, the way Ajax play as a team and defend and work as a team, I'd bring van der beek, de ligt, neres, zyiech, and talifco, top players, know how to play as a team."

Fans urged their club not to miss a "massive opportunity" by taking advantage of the talent set to be on offer from the Dutch side.
