        	Ajax's director of football, Marc Overmars, has reiterated the club are keen to keep hold of reported Newcastle United target Vurnon Anita.
Anita, 23, revealed in July he is open to a move to the Premier League, with Newcastle said to be monitoring his situation.
Reports on Sunday claim the Magpies are set to lodge a £7.5 million bid for the Netherlands international, but Overmars is hopeful he will remain at Ajax.
Overmars is quoted in the Sun as saying: "We don't want to lose Vurnon."
