Transfer news: Paris Saint-Germain sign 19-year-old Ajax wonderkid defender Mitchel Bakker to a four-year contract

Paris Saint-Germain have announced the signing of Ajax wonderkid Mitchel Bakker on a free transfer.

The 19-year-old full-back has signed a four-year deal with the Ligue 1 champions after the move from the Netherlands.

He can play on either side but is primarily a left-back and is highly-thought of by those in his home country.

He has played for the Netherlands Under-19s five times while also featuring in 13 UEFA Youth League games.

Bakker has found first-team opportunities limited at Ajax because of Nicolas Tagliafico’s strong performances.

He is not the only Ajax defender that PSG are chasing during this transfer window.

They have reportedly agreed a transfer fee with the French club, and also with Manchester United, for Matthijs de Ligt.

The centre-back will leave Ajax this summer and it is a case of where he will end up.

Juventus took the lead in the race for his signature with the player understood to be keen to go there but their opening offer was refused.
