Ajax sign NEC´s Schone

Ajax have confirmed on their official website that they have agreed to sign midfielder Lasse Schone for three years.

The 25-year-old had an expiring deal at NEC and leaves the Nijmegen side on a free transfer.

Schone is a product of the Lyngby youth academy, but left the Danish side for Heerenveen aged 16.

Schone failed to break into the first team at the Friezen, and eventually joined NEC in 2008 after a two-year spell at De Graafschap.

The Denmark international has made 107 Eredivisie appearances for NEC, scoring 23 goals.

Schone will join compatriots Christian Eriksen, Nicolai Boilesen and Viktor Fischer at Ajax.
