Heerenveen had been on Van Axel Dongen's trail for some time. He had several conversations with manager Robin Veldman, who previously worked with him during his time as a youth coach at Ajax. Veldman hopes to get Van Axel Dongen, whose contract with Ajax runs until the summer of 2027, back on track in Friesland after injuries have previously blighted his progress.
'Loaning Amourricho to SC Heerenveen is a good deal for all parties,' said technical director Alex Kroes on the club website on Tuesday evening. 'The most important thing is that Amourricho will get playing time at the highest level. This arrangement is a great opportunity and will help him take the next step in his development.'
Heerenveen's technical manager Johan Hansma said of the move, 'With Amourricho, we add speed, creativity, and depth to our squad. He's a two-footed winger who can play on either flank. We know he hasn't played much due to injuries. Together with the coaching staff, we'll do everything we can to get him back to match fitness.'

🚨 And now a record deal: ex-Bayern star brings in his son as coach
Mark van Bommel has always been one who never backs down. As a player, he never shied away from any duel, and as a coach, he's not afraid to make a sixth substitution in a cup game just like that. And apparently, he's not afraid to set a transfer record for his own son either. That's exactly what he's done now in his role as head coach of PSV Eindhoven. As the Eredivisie club announced today, van Bommel's son Ruben was signed from AZ Alkmaar. According to 'Sky', PSV is paying 15.8 million euros, which would replace Hirving Lozano, who came from Naples in 2023 for 15 million, as the record transfer. However, with Ruben van Bommel, PSV is not getting a tenacious midfielder and destroyer like his father was as a player. The 20-year-old, who also played for Eindhoven in his youth, is a winger and is more known for his pacey dribbling and goal threat, rather than uncompromising tackles and hard-earned red cards. Last season, he scored ten goals and provided six assists in 34 games across all competitions. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

PSV find fellow Bundesliga alternative for Bayern Munich goalkeeper
After negotiations have seemingly stalled with Bayern Munich's Daniel Peretz, PSV have targeted a new stopper to challenge Nick Olij. According to Voetbal International, German sources have reported that Bayer Leverkusen's Czech international, Matej Kovar (25), is the new intended goalkeeping reinforcement, now that negotiations with Bayern Munich are going badly. Advertisement According to Sky Germany, PSV and Bayer Leverkusen are already in talks about Kovar. For the Eindhoven side, it was initially intended that Daniel Peretz would come in as Nick Olij's competitor on loan, but there has been little progress in those negotiations for some time. Sources suggest that this has to do with Bayern's 'high demands'. It was believed that PSV had a verbal agreement with Peretz for some time, yet the negotiations for a loan with an option to buy have proved unsuccessful. While PSV have yet to comment on their interest in Kovar, VI are predicting a permanent offer for the 13-time Czech international, especially after Erik ten Hag brought in Mark Flekken from Brentford. The 6 ft 5 Kovar was picked up at a young age by Manchester United, who later loaned him to Swindon Town, Burton Albion and Sparta Prague. Under Ten Hag, he left the club for Bayer Leverkusen. In Germany, he became the second goalkeeper behind Lukas Hradecky and appeared a total of 32 times in all competitions. GBeNeFN | Max Bradfield

Feyenoord and Brentford do business again: Young English talent moves to De Kuip
As per Voetbal International, Feyenoord have done business with Brentford again, with the Rotterdam side bringing 18-year-old Emeka Peters to De Kuip. Peters, previously a Fulham youth product, has been with Brentford for two years and leaves the club after scoring 14 goals and providing six assists for The Bees' U18 team last season. The London-born Englishman has reportedly signed a contract with Feyenoord until the summer of 2028, where he will join the U19s. 'I'm very honoured to be here. It's a new adventure, of course, in a new country, but I'm eager to make my mark with the U19s. I hope that with my actions I can contribute to the team's success and that I can further develop here as a young player.' On Peters' move, Brentford technical director Lee Dykes said: 'We're really pleased for Emeka – Feyenoord is a fantastic club with a proud history, and this is a great step for him. 'He'd expressed a desire to experience football in a new country, and after conversations with him and his family, we felt this move made a lot of sense for where he is in his development. 'It's also a great reflection of the work that's going on in our academy under Stephen Torpey and his team. Not every player will go on to play for Brentford's first team, and that's something we're honest about. 'What's important is that we support each individual's journey and find the right path for them. For Emeka, that path has led to Feyenoord, and it shows the variety of opportunities available for our young players.' Ties between Brentford and Feyenoord have been particularly tight since this summer. The two clubs had previously done business over Antoni Milambo, who moved to the Premier League for at least 20 million euros. GBeNeFN | Max Bradfield
