According to 90min, clubs including Manchester United, Liverpool, and Arsenal were present at Sunday's Eredivisie match between PSV Eindhoven and Ajax to scout Ibrahim Sangare and Jurrien Timber.
At the Philips Stadion, PSV and Ajax squared off, and the home team prevailed 3-0 with ease thanks to a brace from Luuk de Jong and a penalty kick from Xavi Simons.
Sources have claimed that many Premier League scouts watched the enthralling match till the final minute. Manchester United, Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal, Newcastle United, West Ham, Brentford, Brighton, Wolves, and Leeds United all dispatched observers to observe a number of highly regarded athletes.
Ibrahim Sangare is one such player who, as 90min reported, is eager to prove himself in the Premier League. The defensive midfielder's contract, which he signed last summer, has a €37 million release clause. His agents have informed clubs like West Ham, Arsenal, and Tottenham of the player's availability during the upcoming transfer window.
Several Premier League clubs on Sunday kept a careful eye on Jarrad Branthwaite, Singare's PSV colleague who is now on loan from Everton. PSV, on the other hand, has been very pleased with the defender and wants to keep him on their roster past the 2022–2023 campaign.
When it comes to Ajax players, Manchester United scouted Jurrien Timber on Sunday. One of United's top defensive targets ahead of what looks to be a hectic summer transfer window is the defender.
The defender is capable of playing both center back and right back, and as 90min noted at the beginning of March, a source close to the Dutch club joked that Ten Hag "would take Timber tomorrow" if given the chance, and that Timber would play anywhere for the manager who first brought him up to the senior level of football.
Timber was quite critical of his teammates following the weekend loss to PSV, saying in an interview with ESPN: "I think we just weren't ready today.
