Robbert Schilder is reported to have been the main interest when Joe Royle and chief scout Colin Suggett watched a young Ajax second string side play a similarly youthful FC Twente team earlier in the week. Schilder scored both goals as Ajax won 2-0.

Despite the goals Schilder, 19, is a central defender not a striker or left-back, the areas which Royle is keen to cover during the January transfer window.
