Milan are set to make a move for Ajax sensation Ryan Babel when the transfer window reopens in January, according to reports.

The 19-year-old forward, who has Surinam origins, is rated highly by former Milan star Marco Van Basten (pictured), who included him in the Netherlands’ squad for the World Cup in Germany.

“Babel has the potential to become the new Thierry Henry,” said the Dutch Coach recently.

Babel is a natural born winger, who could play next to Alberto Gilardino and Filippo Inzaghi and could also be fielded by Coach Carlo Ancelotti as a second striker.

Milan transfer guru Ariedo Braida has long since eyed the youngster and the club seems set to make an offer to Ajax in the attempt to bring Babel to Italy during the January transfer window, although his move may be postponed until the end of the season.

Ajax would be looking to net at least £5m for the player due to his importance to their Eredivisie hopes.

If Babel did make the switch to the peninsula he certainly wouldn’t be the first Ajax star to make the move.

The likes of Edgar Davids, Clarence Seedorf, Patrick Kluivert, Dennis Bergkamp and Zlatan Ibrahimovic have all previously traded life in Holland for a move to Italy.

You know what I think, though?
The problem is not the strikers...

It is the strikers, apart from Seedorf the midfielders are doing their job very good !!

I mean had we won the last 4 matchs, I doubt we'd even be reading such links (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Yes but we didn't ... don't sound like Mancini: "If we had scored three goals, we wouldn't have lost" ... (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) So what? If my grandma had wheels she'd be a push cart !! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Lets just say that in 2-3 yrs time, we could start thinking about him

Yeah like the rest of the teams in Europw wil wait that long !! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Gourcuff made in impact, why wouldn't he ??

Gourcuff wont be a regular until he is 22-23 yrs old, you'll see ..

Take a look at Seedorf and then think again !!

You know, sometimes Mancini makes sence (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) .. He is the little humor we get from Serie A (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I hope he wins the Coppa Italia again and remains with Inter for yrs to come (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Gourcuff is a one-off .. He clearly is Seedorf's replacment, but that doesnt necessarily imply that its either him or Seedorf .. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

He still needs time, just like Kaka .. But Babel ?! Comon, lets say Milan do sign him in January .. What then ? Loan him out (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) .. Give him 180 mns of play time in half the season ?! He wont develop with that much play time .. But even if you believe that he could solve our problem in attack, how ?! He is a starlet, a player in the making .. You never know he might just flop !

Point of the matter is, he aint Milan quality, yet .. Maybe, yes, in a couple of yrs he'll be ready .. So what if other teams take him ? It never stopped us from getting the players we need in the past (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
