Former PSV Eindhoven star Arnold Bruggink is backing Ajax's move for Chelsea striker Bertrand Traore.

The youngster is being linked with Ajax as a replacement for Napoli signing Arek Milik.

"An attacker who immediately makes Ajax better is Bertrand Traoré of Chelsea. He would be a real coup," Bruggink wrote for Voetbal International.

"Traoré is a quick and intelligent striker, is young and therefore worth an investment and the advantage is that Peter Bosz for one and a half years worked with him at Vitesse.

"He started early to play Traore as a right striker, but stationed him shortly before the winter break in the centre. Traore then scored twelve goals in seventeen matches."
