Enquiries were made about his availability in 2022 but the club spent their budget on other targets including Brazil winger Antony.
Ten Hag is still interested in Brobbey, who has scored 15 goals for Ajax this season, and even though he would like to make additions to his squad in January, he has been told that finances, particularly for permanent deals, remain tight.
