Ajax defender van der Wiel ignoring interest from Chelsea and Man City

Holland defender Gregory van der Wiel has no intentions of moving to the Premiership, instead he wants to concentrate on the final two years of his Ajax contract. The £9million-rated 23-year-old is thought to be wanted by new Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas, while Manchester City are also reported to be considering a bid.

"It's just rumours," Van der Wiel told Onside.dk. "There are always a lot of rumours about me and none of it is true.

"So I really don't know what to think. I'm just focusing on playing for Ajax this year, and then next year there is the European Championship. Then we will see, what happens.

"I'm used to rumours, so it doesn't really bother me"
