I was also injured in that period, so I was thinking, Not yet. I felt I should stay for another year at Ajax, or perhaps longer.I considered their [Spurs] offer long and hard. I see Tottenham as a very stable club, and they are only getting better.They give young players a chance and I see Mauricio Pochettino as a manager who really improves young players. I like the kind of football they are playing. I think it would have suited my game.De Jong will be aiming to go out on a high with Ajax in the Champions League.After knocking out holders Real Madrid, Juventus await in the last eight of the competition for the Dutch champions.
