Dutch Eredivisie giants Ajax are reportedly linked with a loan switch for Chelsea's young midfielder Kevin de Bruyne in January.
According to Sports Direct News, the talented Belgian starlet is highly regarded by the Dutch outfit, having seen the player have an impressive loan spell with Bundesliga side Werder Bremen.
The arrival of Jose Mourinho as the Blues' manager looked to be the limelight to start off De Bruyne's career at the West London club, but recent poor performances have casted a doubt as to where him future would lie.
Meanwhile, Ajax are on the lookout for a new playmaker having sold Danish International Christian Eriksen to Tottenham Hotspur during the recently concluded transfer window, and De Bruyne could be the perfect player to satisfy their requirements.
Having been recently axed from the Champions League squad to face Steaua Bucharest on Tuesday night, it looks likely that De Bruyne will spend yet another season on loan, when the January transfer window opens up.
