Rising Ajax star Kasper Dolberg wants to stay at the club for another year despite interest from a host of major European sides, his agent has said.

The Denmark international scored 23 goals in all competitions in 2016-17, including six in the Europa League to help Ajax reach the final, where they were beaten by Manchester United.

Dolberg's form has seen him linked with a potential move to Jose Mourinho's side in the transfer window, while Manchester City and Barcelona have also been credited with an interest.

However, agent Jens Steffensen says the 19-year-old wants to spend next season in Amsterdam despite enquiries from elsewhere.

"Nothing is concrete yet. He is currently preparing for the [Denmark] games against Germany and Kazakhstan," he told Fussball Transfers.

"No club has submitted an offer to Ajax. I can tell you one thing - all the top European clubs have asked about him. But we haven't seen any concrete or written offers yet.
