Crystal Palace, Newcastle lodge bids for Ajax defender Jairo Riedewald

Premier League offers are arriving for Ajax defender Jairo Riedewald.

Voetbal International says Newcastle United and Crystal Palace have tabled bids for the 20 year-old.

Ajax are seeking €10 million to sell Riedewald - a price both English clubs are willing to match.

The defender skipped the weekend friendly with Werder Bremen in order to avoid the risk of injury.

He explained: "The coach heard from (sports chief) Marc Overmars that there's much interest. It is better to not now play for Ajax."
