Sergiño Dest Signs with Ajax

Sergiño Dest has signed a contract with AFC Ajax. The deal will keep Dest with the Dutch giants through June of 2021.

Dest is an 18-year-old Dutch-American dual national who played for the United States at the 2017 U-17 World Cup and also featured with the U-20 team that recently won the Concacaf Championship. He has been in Ajax’s famous academy since 2012 and slowly worked his way through the ranks.

Dest is a very versatile player. He’s usually deployed as a right back, but he is capable of playing as a left back and in the attack on either wing.
