Arsene Wenger and Pep Guardiola are going head-to-head in a battle for Ajax youngster Frenkie De Jong

Frenkie De Jong has broken into the first team and is now wanted in the Premier League, with Chelsea also monitoring his situation.

They reckon they can get the youngster for ?5m this January as De Jong has just 18 months left on his current deal.

De Jong started at Willem II before moving to Ajax and playing for their youth team in the second-tier, where he won the Talent of the Season award.

De Jong has played for the Holland Under-21s after progressing through the youth teams and is expected to get a full cap with his country looking to the future after failing to reach the World Cup.

He has made seven Eredivisie appearances for Ajax this season, including four starts.
