Ajax are chasing a deal for Southampton midfielder Dusan Tadic.

The Dutch giants are lining up a move for the Serbia international, reports De Telegraaf, as an alternative to FC Utrecht attacker Zakaria Labyad.

Ajax scout Henk Veldmate originally brought Tadic to Holland with FC Groningen.

The pair have maintained contact over the years and Tadic did not rule out a move to Ajax when it was raised by Veldmate recently.

Whether Saints stay up or are relegated, Tadic is expected to quit this summer.
