What Celtic transfer target Jakob Breum has said about move
The 21-year-old appears to be at the top of the Hoops' list with regards to recruiting a new winger. Nicolas Kuhn was sold to Como for a fee in excess of £17m earlier this summer, while Jota remains sidelined until the end of the year, meaning it's an area of the pitch that needs addressed by Brendan Rodgers. The Scottish Premiership champions have already seen their offers of around £3m rejected by Go Ahead Eagles, with the Dutch outfit seeking closer to £6.5m. Speaking ahead of the summer window, the winger admitted he's open to furthering his career sooner rather than later. He recently told TV 2: "Of course I have ambitions to try myself at a higher level, but when that is, time will tell. "I'm not just going to play a few good months and then take the next step. I can still develop even more here, so I'm not in a hurry to get away. Read more: "I'm very open to the next step. It all depends on what offers come in. "It's not like I have certain leagues that I just have to go to. "But of course I'm aiming for as high a level as possible because it's the dream to play against the very best."

Ajax star makes feelings clear amid 'difficult' transfer negotiations with Chelsea
Chelsea are keen to sign a new left-back to challenge Marc Cucurella and have opened talks with Ajax to sign 19-year-old star Jorrel Hato, who sat out of their game on Sunday Jorrel Hato asked to be left out of Ajax's friendly against Como on the weekend because he's in negotiations to join Chelsea. Hato has been eyed by a number of Premier League sides this summer after catching the eye of scouts and Chelsea are in pole position to sign him. The 19-year-old defender, who can play at centre-back and left-back, has already made 111 appearances for the Dutch giants. He still has three years left on his contract with Ajax, but it now seems likely he will leave this summer. Liverpool and Arsenal have both been credited with interest in the youngster whose versatility and experience make him an attractive prospect. Ajax are braced for his exit after Hato made it clear to head coach John Heitinga that he would rather not play against on Sunday. That's according to Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad, who report that negotiations with Chelsea remain 'difficult' despite the player's desire to leave. Ajax are understood to be seeking a fee of between €55-60million (£48m-£52.5m) for Hato, while Chelsea are aiming for a figure closer to £40m. Hato has now missed two straight pre-season matches for Ajax, having also sat out of the previous game against Celtic. Heitinga had claimed his first absence was due to a lack of match fitness, but it is clear that more is going on. Chelsea want a left-back to challenge Marc Cucurella, with Ben Chilwell, Renato Veiga and Ishe Samuels-Smith all leaving this summer. They opened negotiations for the 2024/25 Eredivisie Talent of the Season last week and are hoping to progress them this week. 'Yes, the club [Chelsea] have contacted Ajax,' Hato's agent Humphry Nijman told De Telegraaf on Wednesday. Hato appears to have changed his tune over the past month, having previously declared himself to be 'at home' in Amsterdam. He played 50 times last season as Ajax came up just short of rivals PSV Eindhoven in the league and appeared determined to kick on. 'The smartest thing is to look ahead to pre-season, that's what I do,' Hato told the club website. 'Of course you want to achieve things in the end: the Champions League, a World Cup and a European Championship, I still have plenty of time. I don't think I absolutely have to win the Champions League in two years. 'In the Dutch league, you have to show how good you are against the big clubs. Ultimately, I have to continue to develop the things I am already good at, so that it becomes top. How do I describe my time at Ajax? Ajax is home for me. I just feel at home here.'
