Ajax hope to take Joeri Heerkens to Amsterdam soon. The goalkeeper (19) has personally reached an agreement with the club for five years. An agreement between the clubs is expected soon, possibly this week.
Ajax had previously made a connection to Robin Roefs from NEC Nijmegen. However, he turned out to be too expensive. The Dutch Under-19 goalkeeper, who won the European Championship in Romania, is to be the stand-in for Vitezslav Jaros, who is on loan from Liverpool, and could eventually develop into the first-choice goalkeeper for โAjax 1โ.
Several clubs have registered interest in Heerkens, but he has informed his club Sparta Prague that he wants to go to Ajax.
Ajax will sit down with Sparta Prague this week to close the deal. Ajax had a budget of around two million euros available for the role of second keeper.
