Ajax star Mika Godts should be wary of a potential move Manchester CityBecause he is unable to overtake Jeremy Doku in the pecking order.
This is the advice of journalist Valentijn Driessen, via fc update. He believes the highly-rated 20-year-old should look elsewhere this summer.
Growing transfer interest
Mike Godts is set for a big-money move from Ajax this summer after establishing himself as one of the rising youngsters in Europe.
The 20-year-old has scored 16 goals and 13 assists in 39 games for Ajax this season, including a spectacular solo goal in the 2-0 win over NAC Breda last weekend. Overall, the youngster has scored 24 goals and 23 assists in 106 games for the Dutch giants since his debut.

However, it seems that Valentin Driessen is worried about the youngster joining a big club. In particular, he believes Manchester City would be a bad idea at this time.
"He just proves that he has transcended the Eredivisie," he said on the Kick-Off Podcast.
“Against clubs like Telstar and NAC, you can certainly excel even as an Ajax player, but Ajax are not outstanding at all. And he stands head and shoulders above them.
"The connection between Jordi Cruijff and Pep Guardiola is clearly visible. And Manchester City is certainly a club that can pay thirty, forty or fifty million. But I don't think he is better than Doku."
Indeed, the Dutch journalist believes that Godts should look at his current situation in the Belgian national team. He believes this will give him an example of life at Manchester City.
"They are both Belgians. And Doku is also higher up the pecking order in the national team, while Godts should be happy if he is in the team as well," He added.
