Ajax chief Edwin van der Sar wouldn't be surprised if Marc Overmars has been talking with Arsenal.

The Ajax sports director has been linked with a return to the Gunners.

And Van der Sar told Studio Voetbal: "Talking is free.

"Marc is happy here.

"Whether he had a conversation? That could be. Talking is free. But I know that Marc has a commitment to Ajax. Marc and I, and the rest of the club management, want to lift the club.

"The club has brought us a lot."
