“Urby is a mainstay for Ajax. We do not have that many defenders, so we don’t want to sell a player like Emanuelson in the winter break.” reads a technical director Martin Van Geel statement on the Amsterdam club’s website.
Hotspur contacted the 21-year-old’s agent and Brian Berkleef in turn notified Ajax of their will to sign him. “Of course I’ve talked about it with Urby and yes, he considers a move in January.” Berkleef told De Telegraaf daily.
However, it was the international left fullback himself who only this month told the Sportweek magazine: “I think that I’ll still be playing for Ajax after the winter break. Furthermore, it is often that a transfer in the middle of the season requires a lot of money.”
Part of the Godenzonen first team since he was 18, Emanuelson is under contract until June 30, 2011. Tottenham thought that 10 million euros would be a good reason for the Johan Cruyff Schaal and Beker holders to break it, but it appears that they were wrong.
