Ajax leave record signing Sebastian Haller out of their Europa League squad by MISTAKE with the Dutch club now in talks with UEFA to see if they can get their £20m striker included
Ajax could be left to rue an embarrassing mistake after accidentally leaving club-record signing Sebastian Haller out of their Europa League squad.
The Dutch giants swooped for Haller in a £20m move from West Ham in the January transfer window but, as it stands, he is ineligible to face Lille in the Europa League later this month.
‘He is indeed not on the list, we are trying to find out what went wrong,’ said Ajax spokesman Miel Brinkhuis to Dutch publication AD. ‘We have contacted the KNVB (Dutch FA) and UEFA.’
Ajax have mistakenly left record signing Sebastian Haller out of their Europa League squad
There is no obvious reason for Haller to be excluded and the striker hasn’t even played in Europe this season.
The 26-year-old has hit the ground running in Holland, firing in two goals in hist first six games.
Ajax have a seven point lead at the summit of the Eredivisie table and are next in action on Sunday Utrecht.
