Ajax loan Van Axel Dongen to SC Heerenveen
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.

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.'

Dutch cyclist Ellen van Dijk says she will retire at the end of the season
PARIS (AP) — Multiple world champion Ellen van Dijk will retire from cycling at the end of the season, saying an increasing worry about dangerous crashes influenced her decision. The 38-year-old from the Netherlands has won 70 races in all categories during a stellar career. This includes three individual and three team world time trial titles, one world title in the scratch discipline, five European titles and a solo win over 139 kilometers (86 miles) in the Tour of Flanders. 'I'm going to retire as a professional cyclist at the end of the season after 20 years. It's been a big part of my life, a superlong career that I feel very thankful for,' the Lidl-Trek rider said in comments from her team. 'In the last two years I had a lot of nasty crashes and this for sure makes me more scared on the bike in the peloton, and it makes me lose the real love of the road racing.' With 41 victories in races against the clock, Van Dijk is among the greats in time trials. She is also the former women's world record holder for the hour, riding a fraction over 49 kilometres (about 30 miles) in 2022 — a record since beaten. Van Dijk thanked Lidl-Trek for their commitment to women's cycling. 'It means a lot to me what this team did for women's cycling,' she said. 'Trek always believed in women's cycling and invested a lot in it and has played a big role in making women's cycling what it is today.' ___ AP sports:
