Borussia Dortmund set to beat Manchester United to Ajax striker Kasper Dolberg
Talented 19-year-old was being courted by Europe's biggest clubs after being crowned Dutch Footballer of the Year
BORUSSIA DORTMUND have agreed a deal with Ajax to sign young starlet Kasper Dolberg in January.
The 19-year-old was being tracked by Europe's biggest clubs after being crowned Dutch Footballer of the Year.
The striker bagged an impressive 23 goals in all competitions last season and looked braced to stay in the Eredivisie for at least one more campaign.
Just last week he told Goal that he was "100 per cent sure I'm staying at Ajax this season."
But according to Todomercadoweb, Dolberg will play with the Dutch giants until the new year when he will make the step up to the Bundesliga.
Ajax have a long history of developing football's brightest talents before cashing in for a big profit.
Monaco were reportedly ready to spend £45million of their summer windfall to land Dolberg this summer but Ajax rejected the offer.
Manchester United also had a strong interest in Dolberg having sent scouts to watch the talent in action.

He also featured against Jose Mourinho's side in the Europa League final last season as Ajax crashed to a 2-0 defeat.
Despite the defeat it was a huge season for Dolberg who also earned his first cap for Denmark as well as being crowned Danish Talent of the Year.
