Mohammed Kudus has agreed personal terms with Everton and is awaiting Ajax’s approval to join the Premier League club.
The Ghana international is looking to leave Ajax after being demoted to the bench despite his pre-season exploits.
Everton made Kudus a personal offer, which he accepted, but the Toffees are having difficulty convincing Ajax.
Agents close to the deal told Ghana’s leading football news outfit Ghanasoccernet.com that Everton spoke with officials on Ajax about taking the player on loan.
The Toffees also told the Amsterdam-based club they will take the player on loan until the end of the season before they make a move for a permanent deal.
This is a significant step in the talented youngster’s quest to leave Ajax to go on loan as he is seeking regular playing time with the 2022 World Cup looming.
Goodison Park were subsequently asked to put the offer on paper before it is considered even though Ajax stated their reluctance to release the player.
Despite the hesitation, Ajax are expecting the official bid to be placed before the Dutch side gives an official response to the offer from Everton.
Ajax coach Alfred Schreuder is refusing to give Kudus playing time. Kudus has played 46 matches for the Dutch giants since his move from Denmark, scoring six goals and providing four assists even though he was affected by a knee injury.
