Donny van de Beek will reportedly agree to join Real Madrid from Ajax this summer in the next few days, snubbing interest from Tottenham Hotspur in the process.

Ajax and Netherlands midfielder Donny Van De Beek will reportedly seal a deal to join Real Madrid this summer over the next few days.

Van De Beek impressed during Ajax's run to last season's Champions League semi-final and has reportedly attracted the interest of both Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur.

According to a report in Spain, the 22-year-old will seal a move to Real Madrid in the next few days but will not join up with the squad until the summer, instead staying with Ajax for the rest of the season.

The report states that following the departure of Frenkie de Jong and Matthijs de Ligt during last summer's transfer window, Ajax requested that Van de Beek not leave until the summer of 2020.

Ajax have once again impressed in the Champions League this season and sit ahead of both Chelsea and Valencia in the Group H standings with one match to play.

Van de Beek has been central to the side's domestic and European success, with 11 goals and five assists in all competitions so far this season.
