Ajax midfielder Frenkie de Jong: Barcelona rumours now annoying

Ajax midfielder Frenkie de Jong admits he's growing tired of speculation linking him with Barcelona.

De Jong has emerged as a confirmed transfer target for Barca.

"At the start it was fun and I felt flattered by the stories about Barcelona, but after some time the questions became annoying," he told EFL Voetbal.

"For the moment I'm staying at Ajax, at least another year and maybe two or three more, I'm really enjoying it here."

De Jong has a contract until 2022 with Ajax.
