Ajax loan Van Axel Dongen to SC Heerenveen
As Voetbal International previously reported, Ajax's Amourricho van Axel Dongen will play for SC Heerenveen next season. Ajax are letting the 20-year-old winger leave on loan. This is a loan deal without an option to buy, meaning he will return to Amsterdam next summer. Advertisement 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.' GBeNeFN | Max Bradfield

Heerenveen and Jahanbakhsh struggle to strike a new deal
Alireza Jahanbakhsh (31) has likely played his last match for SC Heerenveen. The attacker has been injured and will be sidelined for weeks, and thus until the end of the season. This comes via head coach Robin Veldman on Omroep Abe, a podcast of the Leeuwarder Courant. It is unclear what Jahanbakhsh is suffering from; as Veldman only said that the attacker is no longer being counted on for this season. With the Iranian has an expiring contract, the collaboration with Heerenveen looks to be ending quietly. Advertisement The 92-time international wants to look for an adventure outside the Netherlands for next season. He was already looking for that last year, but because Jahanbakhsh was busy obtaining his Dutch passport, he decided to stay in the Eredivisie longer. Jahanbakhsh was added to the Heerenveen selection in early November. Before that, he had been without a club for a few months, following his departure from Feyenoord. The right winger played 19 league matches for the Frisians, 16 of which as a starter. He lost his place in the team last month to Jacob Trenskow, who had returned from an injury; against NEC, Jahanbakhsh did not leave the bench. The veteran scored three times for Heerenveen. Heerenveen are currently eighth in the Eredivisie and will play against RKC Waalwijk (away), Go Ahead Eagles (away) and Feyenoord (home) this season. After that, Veldman's team hopes to qualify for the European play-offs. GBeNeFN | Max Bradfield
