Frank de Boer praises Viktor Fischer

Ajax boss Frank de Boer has claimed that Viktor Fischer could become a "major player" for the Dutch club.

The 18-year-old striker, who was once linked with Manchester United, scored in the club's 4-0 friendly win over Celtic on Saturday, and De Boer has praised the youngster.

"He may very well be [a great player]. He's pretty good, but still only a second-year player. He can also play in the youth team. He has the qualities to become a major player," he told Eredivisie live.

Fischer scored 20 goals in 30 Under-17 matches for Denmark.
