Hibs striker Dylan Vente joins SC Heerenveen for ‘significant fee'
Hibs striker Dylan Vente has joined Eredivisie side SC Heerenveen on a permanent transfer.
The terms of the 26-year-old's transfer will remain undisclosed, however, the Club has received a significant fee.
The Dutch forward joined Hibs in the summer of 2023 and went on to make 43 appearances in all competitions, scoring 11 goals.
Vente spent the majority of the 2024/25 campaign away from Easter Road on loan with PEC Zwolle in the Eredivisie, and will now return permanently to the Dutch top-flight.
On his departure, Hibernian FC Head Coach David Gray commented: 'I'd like to start by wishing Dylan all the best for the future. He was a player that I enjoyed working with on the training pitch and someone that had a real desire to do well.
'He performed well in the Eredivisie with PEC Zwolle last season and felt more comfortable back in his homeland, playing football with a smile on his face. His time at Hibs didn't quite work out the way we'd all planned, but I'd like to thank him for all his hard work and hope he goes on to achieve his ambitions and full potential.'
Hibernian FC's Sporting Director Malky Mackay added: 'There was a lot of interest in Dylan this summer after his performances last season, and he had a clear desire to continue playing and enjoying his football in the Eredivisie.
'We had to make sure that we got the right deal for Hibernian FC, and after a number of conversations, we're happy with the deal we've got for him. We wish him nothing but the best going forward.'

Chaos as England's U21s Euros quarter-final win over Spain ends in mass brawl as Ashley Cole is forced to step in
ON EUR WAY Chaos as England's U21s Euros quarter-final win over Spain ends in mass brawl as Ashley Cole is forced to step in Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CHAOS erupted at the final whistle as England beat Spain 3-1 to set up an Euro U21 semi-final against Holland. The holders will battle the Dutch in Bratislava on Wednesday for a place in the European Championship final. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 James McAtee led the way as England booked their place in the Euro U21s semis Credit: Getty 2 Harvey Elliott also scored in a 3-1 win over Spain Credit: Getty James McAtee and Harvey Elliott showed the precision of a Spanish archer to take the lead in a lightning quick start before Eliot Anderson wrapped things up with a late penalty. Despite handing their much-fancied opponents a lifeline before the break, England held firm in Tranava to roar on. But the match ended in chaos as players from both sides clashed in a touchline fracas, with former Leeds man Charlie Cresswell at the centre of things. Tempers spilled over as unsettling scenes of shirt-grabbing and shoving took centre stage.

Six members of Lee Carsley's army headed to the Stadion Antona Malatinskeho, where Big Sam Allardyce won his only game in charge of England in 2016, with happy memories. Teddy Sharman-Lowe, Brooke Norton-Cuffy, Jarell Quansah, Alex Scott, Samuel Iling-Junior and Ronnie Edwards were all returning to the scene of their 2022 Under-19 Euro triumph with England. And it proved to be a happy hunting ground once again as they refused to relinquish their grip on the trophy. Only Quansah and Scott out of them started here as Carsley rang the changes after Wednesday's 2-1 defeat to Germany. In came Tino Livramento for Iling-Junior, Tyler Morton replaced Elliot Anderson in midfield, captain James McAtee took over from Ethan Nwaneri. The fourth, and biggest eyebrow raiser, was the inclusion of Birmingham City's Jay Stansfield over Jonathan Rowe as Carsley opted for a more traditional No9 in attack for the first time this tournament. BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS Meanwhile, Leeds striker Mateo Joseph, whose father is cousins with ex-England star Emile Heskey, was the man tasked with leading the Spanish attack against the Three Lions. Though our boys had more than just him to worry. England u21s clash with Germany SUSPENDED as stadium plunged into semi-darkness and players taken off pitch In-demand Valencia midfield duo Javi Guerra and Diego Lopez and Las Palmas' Alberto Moleiro were the three matadors ordered to provide the magic for him. Lopez was straight into it, heading over before a minute had passed and then 30 seconds later his shot hit Charlie Cresswell's arm and the ref pointed to the spot. Fortunately, England survived as a VAR check led to the Italian official Simone Sozza overturning his decision. And Carsley's men roared back to turn a potential nightmare start into a dream one. Alex Scott's corner flicked off a defender's head and the Spaniards failed to deal with and allowed McAtee to pounce and drill home from eight yards. Moments later the Young Lions doubled their advantage when Quansah powered forward and thundered a strike towards goal. It was too much for Alejandro Iturbe, and Elliott reacted quickest to slot home after the keeper spilled it. Spain were stunned and struggled to threaten until they were gifted a way back into it. Scott's sloppiness allowed Moleiro to nick it, dart into the box before going down after colliding with Quansah's outstretched left leg. Guerra, after a lengthy delay, kept his cool to send James Beadle the wrong way to leave the game on a knife edge going into the break. England shot out the traps after the restart as Quansah found Omari Hutchinson on the edge of the box. The Ipswich winger's brilliant backheel set Stansfield free, but his strike was deflected over. Cresswell headed Elliot's corner into the side-netting but it was Beadle's heroics that kept their lead on the hour with a superb double save to deny Guerra. Spain were beginning to pile on the pressure as Cresswell threw his body in front of a stinger from Moleiro. But for all of their play and passing, they just could not find a way through as their hopes died right at the death when Beadle saved low down from Roberto Fernandez. Nottingham Forest ace Anderson then stepped up to the spot to fire home a penalty at the death, knocking the stuffing out of Spain for good. It was a display to make Sir Francis Drake proud. Now bring on the Dutch.

Barcelona and Bayern legend's son, 20, has two-minute nightmare at U21 Euros and leaves pitch with head in hands
Chelsea new signing at the thick of the action - but left heartbroken RU HIS ERROR Barcelona and Bayern legend's son, 20, has two-minute nightmare at U21 Euros and leaves pitch with head in hands Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A BARCELONA and Bayern Munich legend's son had a nightmare couple of minutes at the Under-21 Euros. Ruben van Bommel - son of Mark - started for Holland in their quarter-final clash with Portugal.

Van Bommel Jr, 20, picked up his first yellow card for a shove on 19 minutes. And in the 21st, he made a cynical tackle on Chelsea new-boy Geovany Quenda as the teenage winger tried to launch a counter attack. That left Georgian referee Goga Kikacheishvili with a decision to make.

The AZ youngster was evidently gutted. He trudged off the pitch heartbroken with his head buried in his hands and covered by his shirt. The 6ft 3ins star had a brief conversation with a member of the Dutch coaching staff before heading down the tunnel. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS His captain Devyne Rensch remonstrated with the official but his protests came to nothing and Holland had to play three-quarters of the quarter-final with ten men. Van Bommel - whose dad Mark was one of eight Dutchmen booked in the 2010 World Cup final - must have feared he had ruined his country's chances of European glory.

But Quenda stepped up and sent the goalkeeper the wrong way... only to see his spot-kick cannon off the post and away. The Dutch defence - featuring Ian Maatsen - stood firm for the remainder of the tie before substitute Ernest Poku grabbed a dramatic late winner for Holland to send them into the semis. 5 Geovany Quenda struck his penalty against the post Credit: Getty

Nicolas Kuhn watches dithering RB Leipzig go tame as transfer truth comes to boil over Celtic star
The former Germany youth international is in demand this summer RB Leipzig's pursuit of Celtic star Nicolas Kuhn is set to be turned down a notch - according to a report. Despite dropping off in the second half of last season, the German winger finished the campaign with an impressive 21 goals and 15 assists in 51 matches in all competitions. Last week, it was reported that the former Bayern Munich kid is a summer target for Bundesliga side Leipzig, who missed out on European football altogether next season with a disappointing seventh place finish in Germany's top tier. Kuhn has also been touted for a big money switch to Newcastle but Hoops hero and Record Sport columnist Chris Sutton has warned that the wide man is not ready for the step-up and needs another year until his belt at Parkhead first. However, a move from Leipzig for Kuhn - or any player for that matter - will reportedly be on hold until a decision on just who will be in the dugout at the Red Bull Arena next season is made. Die Roten Bullen have been without a permanent boss since March 30 when Marco Rose got the boot after a very underwhelming showing on home soil and in Europe. Former Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain number two Zsolt Low was appointed as interim manager for the remainder of the campaign but is not expected to be in contention to land the job on a permanent basis. And while Ole Werner - who stepped down from Werder Bremen last month after leading them to a eight place finish in the Bundesliga - is the favourite to replace Low, German outlet Merkur state that getting the managerial situation sorted will take preference over improving the squad. Leipzig have already snapped up the signing of talented Dutch youngster OH Leuven ahead of the new season but that deal was completed back in April. The report also states that a potential swoop for Valencia's Spain U21 star Cristhian Mosquera has also cooled until a new man in the hot seat is in place. They claim that Mosquera has gone as far as giving Leizpig a verbal agreement that he wants to move to Germany but won't officially put pen to paper until he knows just who he will be playing under.
