Ajax youngster Dest pledges allegiance to USMNT over the Netherlands

Ajax teenager Sergino Dest has chosen to represent the United States at international level, despite being raised in the Netherlands.

The 18-year-old rose through the youth ranks at Ajax before graduating to the senior squad earlier this year and he has already featured in 16 matches across all competitions for the club.

The talented right-back was handed his USMNT debut in October after impressing for the U20 squad at the World Cup during the summer.

Dest has also represented the US at U17 level, but the Netherlands recently reached out to his representatives about him potentially switching allegiances.
