Dutch giants dismiss Chelsea link

by Tom Adams , 01 April 2009

Ajax have denied holding an interest in Chelsea striker Ben Sahar, who is currently on loan in Holland with De Graafschap.

The Israel international joined Chelsea in the summer of 2006 but has made only three Premier League appearances as a substitute for The Blues.

The vast majority of his playing time has come in successive loan spells, with Sahar enjoying moves to Hapoel Tel Aviv, QPR, Sheffield Wednesday, Portsmouth and now De Graafschap.

The 19-year-old striker has scored three goals in ten Eredivisie games with the club and it was reported that Dutch giants Ajax had taken note of his performances.

However, technical manager Danny Blind has denied that a move for Sahar is in the pipline.

“We watch every good player, the rest is complete nonsense,” Blind told Elf Voetbal.

“There is currently nothing between Ajax and Ben Sahar. I do have an opinion of him, but I do not have the player.”
