Everton have been placed on red alert after Kasper Dolberg insists he would reject any approach from the Premier League elite.

The Danish wonderkid has scored 18 goals in 37 appearances for Ajax this season and it being tracked by some of Europe’s big-hitters.

Everton have been scouting the 19-year-old but feared they would struggle to compete with clubs able to offer Champions League football.

But in an interview with FourFourTwo magazine Dolberg said he would rebuff advances from such clubs at this stage of his career.

Asked about being linked with such clubs as Manchester City or Manchester United, the teenage forward said: “No, it’s too big a step to go to City or United now.

“It’s important to keep on playing, as I don’t knonw what could happen in the future.

“I have not got a dream league. It’s important which kind of club is keen - in terms of playing style and also how it is at the club.

“You look at the whole package.”

Everton rate Dolberg highly but know it would require them to break their club transfer record to land one of Europe’s hottest prospects.
