According to transfer news from Sport Witness, Chelsea are all set to go after Ajax starlet Ryan Gravenberch. The Blues are ready to dip back into the Eredivisie market after signing Hakim Ziyech last season from Ajax.
Ryan Gravenberch is an 18-year-old Dutch midfielder who plays for Eredivisie side Ajax. He started out his youth career at AVV Zeeburgia before moving to Ajax’s youth setup in 2010. The midfielder spent the next few years progressing through the ranks.
He played a total of 44 games while scoring 8 goals and providing 13 assists (source – Transfermarkt). His good form meant that he was promoted to the senior team last season. So far, he has made 51 appearances, contributing to 8 goals and 7 assists.
Chelsea have a decent unit of central midfielders in their squad. The likes of Mateo Kovacic, N’Golo Kante and Jorginho are first-choice while Billy Gilmour is their deputy. However, refreshing those options could do the club some good.
At just 18 years of age, he has broken into the Ajax senior side. This speaks volumes about his potential. Capable of playing as a central or defensive midfielder, Gravenberch would be a fine addition to the club.
While the first-team might be a bit crowded in that department right now, given his talent, there is no doubt that he can be a huge long-term signing.
