Ajax Manager Erik ten Hag Confirms Talks With Southampton Over Serbian Star Dusan Tadic

Ajax manager Erik ten Hag has confirmed the Dutch side's interest in signing Dusan Tadic from Southampton this summer.

Various outlets previously reported that an approach had been made over a move for the 29-year-old. And Ten Hag, having spoken to Fox Sports after a friendly match between Ajax and VVSB on Saturday, seemed very optimistic over the potential signing.

"It is no secret that we are interested," in quotes cited by De Telegraaf. "But I also learned that we must have signatures first before it is final."

The Ajax boss paid attention while Tadic played Switzerland on Friday, and despite Serbia losing after going ahead, he was impressed with the Saints man's performance.
