Anita holds talks with Ajax

Vurnon Anita's agent has revealed the sought after Dutchman has held positive talks with Ajax coach Frank de Boer.

Anita has been heavily linked with English Premier League outfit Newcastle United this summer, with the Magpies having a bid for the 23-year-old rejected by Ajax. Newcastle are expected to return with an improved bid, but Ajax are determined to keep hold of the player and have moved to reassure Anita of his role at the Amsterdam ArenA. "It was a very pleasant meeting," Harry Lulofs told De Telegraaf. "Henk ten Cate, Marco van Basten and Martin Jol did not know whether Vurnon was a right-back, left-back or midfielder, but Frank sees him as a defensive midfielder and really rates him highly." He added: "There will be a follow up appointment with de Boer and Marc Overmars, who plan to further develop this or think about a transfer."
