Heerenveen will have Vaclav Sejk at their disposal on loan next season. The 23-year-old striker is on loan from Sparta Prague. The deal includes an option to buy. Sejk spent the past six months on loan at Portuguese side Famalicão, where he scored three goals in 16 league matches while providing two assists.

In the Keuken Kampioen Divisie, Sejk found the net eight times in 15 appearances. During his second spell in the Netherlands, the Czech, who is seen as Dylan Vente's understudy, hopes to make a name for himself in the Eredivisie. 'I hope I won't be in the dugout much,' Sejk joked on Heerenveen's club website. 'I'm a striker, so I hope to score goals. But I also promise to always give one hundred per cent and play with full commitment. I'm a fighter, a winner. I don't like losing.' GBeNeFN | Max Bradfield
