They sent scouts to watch Godts in action in Ajax\u2019s last two games \u2013 a 2-0 win over Feyenoord, where he claimed an assist, and a 2-2 draw at NEC, where he scored the second goal.<\/p>\n<p>Ajax have endured a difficult campaign and are currently third under interim head coach Fred Grim, following the sacking of John Heitinga last month.<\/p>\n<p>Ajax are understood to be anxious to keep hold of Godts, but with their struggles, it may not be easy. Spurs, meanwhile, are anxious to bring in a new left-sided option, and he is one of several exciting targets on the shortlist\u2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Want more breaking transfer lines from original sources?
