[LNB]His agent, Hakim Slimani, claims Van Der Wiel has been watched closely by Manchester City, who are seventh in the Premier League. [LNB]Slimani told Voetbal International: 'There is no official contact between Ajax and Manchester City but I cannot deny that his performance has been closely followed by Manchester City.'[LNB]Slimani insists, though, Van Der Wiel is committed to seeing out his contract in Amsterdam which has three years left to run.
