Aston Villa are moving for Ajax left-back Nicolai Boilesen.

Ekstra Bladet says Villa have made an opening bid of €2 million for the Denmark international - which has been immediately turned down.

Ajax have informed Villa to up their offer to €2.7 million if they want to close a deal.

Kenny Boilesen, the player's father, says they're staying calm about the situation.

"If the right club does not come, Nicolai will just continue with Ajax and will become a free transfer next year."
