According to VoetbalPrimeur, Ajax’s Kenneth Taylor is on the radar at Napoli, AC Milan and Juventus. It is no secret that Napoli has been following the 23-year-old midfielder for a while.

However, Italian media state that the Serie A champions may face competition. “A new name for the midfield of Juventus: Taylor”, according to TuttoJuve. “The Dutchman has also been mentioned at Milan.”

Juventus reportedly see Taylor as a “promising talent”. “Francesco Farioli has mainly used him as a central midfielder, but Taylor is a left-footed player who can also play more attackingly.” The Italians estimate Taylor’s transfer value at around 25 million euros.

Taylor recently announced that he was ready for a step up, but that he did not want to trade Ajax for the first club that came along. “And if a really nice club does not come along, I would rather play my whole life at Ajax,” he told Algemeen Dagblad.
