18 July 2011<\/p>\n

Dutch giants Ajax Amsterdam have entered the race to sign Ghana international striker Matthew Amoah.<\/p>\n

The coach of the former European champions Frank de Boer will travel this week to observe the attacker before a decision is made.<\/p>\n

Several clubs have expressed interest in signing Amoah but have not been able to meet the financial demands of NAC Breda.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old, who is one of the club\u2019s highest paid players, could leave to reduce the club\u2019s wage structure.<\/p>\n

Ajax are seeking to boost their attack for the UEFA Champions League and with striker Kolbeinn Sigthorsson injured, the giants have turned to Amoah.<\/p>\n

“Amoah is among the players we are keen on,” said Ajax coach Frank de Boer.<\/p>\n

“We will be there tomorrow to observe him very carefully. He is experienced, but we are normally not attracted to older players, but his experience is important.<\/p>\n

“It is quite difficult. I have to think about the Champions League in this light as a striker Kolbeinn Sigthorsson is injured.”<\/p>\n

Amoah has previously also played in Holland with Fortuna Sittard and AZ Alkmaar, in Germany with Borussia Dortmund and in Romania with Steaua Bucharest.<\/p>\n

The Ghanaian has a contract with NAC Breda until the summer of 2013.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
