Ajax have beaten Arsenal and Tottenham to the signature of Hvidovre talent Per Weihrauch.
The Danish starlet has opted to join Ronald Koeman's side, despite having the chance to train with both North London clubs, as well as PSV Eindhoven.
Weihrauch has also had trials at Everton and Norwich, but Ajax won the day after impressing the 16-year-old.
"I had also been to trial at Everton and Norwich and had the possibility to go to Tottenham, Arsenal and PSV," said Weihrauch told onside.
"But Ajax looked to be the most professional. They have many full time employees around the youth side and that is cool.
"In case I had gone to England, it might have been difficult if I hadn't made a big breakthrough."
