Ajax striker Kasper Dolberg has committed his future to the club by signing a new contract.
The 21-year-old has been linked with European giants including Real Madrid and Manchester United.
However, after signing a one-year extension to his previous deal, Dolberg will remain with the Eredivisie side until 2022.
We have been talking about a new contract for a while and I m glad it s done, Dolberg told the club s website. I am very happy at Ajax.
I have the feeling that I am back on track and I have to continue what I have shown in the last few weeks.
All smiles!

Dolberg hit 16 league goals in a breakthrough 2016-17 campaign to put his name on the radar of Europe s elite.
And while injuries have since held up his progress, the Denmark international has scored in four consecutive domestic matches for Ajax this season.
He s had a difficult year, Ajax coach Erik ten Hag said at a news conference. Luckily we have him back, and he immediately starts scoring goals every game.
That s great for him, because he suffered a lot. It s also very sad if you can t play for so long. To train individually without the team, these moments are not the best in your career.
But he fought his way out of this situation. He s back in the squad, which makes us very happy. He s also very happy.
