Dest signs Ajax extension

The United States international Sergino Dest has signed a contract extension with Ajax, the Eredivisie club have announced today. After previous reports that the player will be offered a new deal with the Dutch champions, now we have got a confirmation of that contract extension.

His previous deal with Ajax was set to expire in the summer of 2021, but the Amsterdam club knew they wanted to keep Dest at the club for longer than that. The Almere-born teenager will now be expected to stay at the club until June 2022, while Ajax remain the option for the additional year.

Dest featured for the United States during the most recent international break, but is set for talks with the Netherlands about following a one-time switch. Dest has the possibility to play for Netherlands, as he never played for the USA in a competitive match. As such a talented player, he might actually have a place in Ronald Koeman’s team.
