Jaap Stam Issues Advice To Liverpool And Man Utd Target Jurrien Timber

Timber and Ajax are having a middling season that saw them sack Alfred Schreuder in January with John Heitinga in charge until the end of the campaign.

New director of football Sven Mislintat has been tasked with the job of hiring a permanent manager but Timber is one of the players who could leave Ajax this summer.

The defender has already indicated that he feels it is time for him to move on and Manchester United and Liverpool are interested in getting their hands on him in the upcoming window.

However, Stam feels Timber should not be making a decision over his future based on money and what stature of the club he could be joining this summer.

He advised the centre-back to wait and see what coach Ajax are looking to appoint and accordingly decide whether he could continue at the club next season.

Stam told Dutch daily the Algemeen Dagblad: “He really has a lot of potential but he doesn’t have to make a choice for money or a big name [club].

“At Ajax, he has the guarantee of playing for trophies.

“But what I would really consider if I were him is how and with him Ajax are thinking of hitting back.

“And if staying is an option for him, maybe he should keep himself informed.”

Mislintat is hopeful that he can convince Timber to continue at Ajax for at least one more season.
