WINSTON BOGARDE has had his dreams of a return to Ajax quashed after the Dutch giants said he was 'too old' for them.
Bogarde said Ajax 'fits perfectly in his profile' earlier this week and he would like to join a young team in which he can add some invaluable experience.
However, Ajax's general manager Leo Beenhakker said the club are not interested in a player with little sell-on value, despite them making enquiries for the Dutch international last season.
Bogarde has struggled to break into the first team at Chelsea and has largely been overlooked since the appointment of Claudio Ranieri as boss last September.
He was brought to West London by Gianluca Vialli in August 2001, but less than two weeks later, Vialli was on his way out of Stamford Bridge.
