Ajax boss Frank de Boer would 'love' to join Everton this summer, according to his agent.

The 45-year-old has been with the Dutch club since 2010, winning four Eredivisie titles.

He is contracted to Ajax until 2017 but, with the future of Roberto Martinez coming under increasing scrutiny at Goodison Park, he has had his name thrown into the hat as a potential successor.

De Boer's representative Guido Albers confirmed the former Holland international would be open to a move to Merseyside, as well as La Liga side Valencia, ahead of the 2016-17 season.

“He would love to join a club like Everton or Valencia,” Albers told NOS. “It's all about the right philosophy and how they play football. That is what Frank is looking for.”

Martinez is coming under pressure at the Blues with the club sitting 12th in the Premier League.

After two cup semi-final exits, the latest setback came at the home of champions Leicester on Saturday, with a comprehensive 3-1 defeat seeing a number of the away support chant for his removal.

Some of the fans have unfurled banners in recent weeks also demanding his dismissal.

De Boer is a highly-rated coach and became the first man to win three Dutch league titles in a row both as a player and manager.

That has seen him tipped to move to England or Spain this summer, but his agent Albers insists he is still just focusing on his current club for now.

“I have told Ajax there is no other club and I have not held discussions with anyone.

“Frank says he now needs to focus on becoming champions, so I do not trouble him.”
