Ajax hope to resume negotiations with AZ Alkmaar this week over the potential transfer of Bolton and Newcastle target Kolbeinn Sigthorsson. [LNB] The Eredivisie champions made an unsuccessful bid for the Icelandic striker last month, thought to be in the region of €3.5million (£3.1million). [LNB]The Godenzonen reportedly want to sign Sigthorsson, whose contract at AZ expires next summer, on a four-year deal. [LNB]Ajax technical director Danny Blind hopes to continue talks over the 21-year-old in the coming days. [LNB]"We will seek talks with AZ this week to get back in," Blind told Voetbal International. [LNB]"No one will benefit if this turns out to be a lengthy matter." [LNB]Sigthorsson, a youth product at AZ, broke into the first team last season and made an instant impact, notching up 32 league appearances and scoring 15 goals. [LNB]He has been linked with a host of Premier League clubs this summer, with Newcastle and Bolton among those reportedly monitoring the youngster.
