Mika Godts Transfer Hunt Intensifies After Viral Ajax Goal

Ajax set a high bar for bids with scouts returning this weekend.

Overview

  • Following Saturday’s solo goal against NAC Breda, scouts from Arsenal and Chelsea watched in person as interest in the 20-year-old winger surged.
  • Barcelona, Arsenal and Chelsea plan to scout Godts against PSV on Saturday, May 2, with Manchester United, Manchester City and Bayern also tracking him, according to Dutch reports.
  • Fabrizio Romano reports the Belgian is expected to move in the summer and says initial approaches have already taken place.
  • Ajax sporting director Jordi Cruyff wants to keep Godts and would sell only for an offer that cannot be refused, with reports citing a price near €25m to £27m and a contract running to 2029.
  • Godts has about 16 goals with double-digit assists this season for Ajax, a breakout that has drawn Liverpool and other elite clubs and could spark a bidding war in the next window.
