Frenkie de Jong is a 21-year-old central midfielder who plays for AFC Ajax in the Eredivisie. He has also featured for Holland's national team, having made six appearances since his debut in March 2017.

De Jong switched from Willem II's youth set-up to Ajax's U21 squad in the summer of 2015. Within a year, he was promoted to the first team where he's remained ever since.

The Dutch midfielder has been scouted by many high-profile clubs across Europe in recent months, but it looks as if Barcelona might get there first.

Rumour probability: 9/10

SportBild (via SkySports.com) report that Frenkie de Jong has agreed a five-year contract with Barcelona, but both clubs will now need to agree terms before De Jong makes the switch.
