Ajax’s Potential Winter Transfers: Insights on Heitinga’s New Role at Tottenham

Will Ajax sell one or more of its key players during the upcoming winter transfer window? Specifically, could a move be possible to Tottenham Hotspur, where John Heitinga has recently taken on a significant role?

Reports suggest that Ajax may entertain the sale of a player for as much as 46 million euros.

Today, it was announced that Heitinga has become an assistant coach at Tottenham, serving as the right-hand man to head coach Thomas Frank. This development has drawn attention from the British media, as there are indications that the club is in search of a new left winger.

Heitinga’s appointment at Tottenham came as a surprise to few in England. “In the Netherlands, it was less expected,” commented his agent, Rob Jansen. “In England, John is held in high regard, possessing an excellent reputation and is viewed as one of the most talented coaches currently in the field. This new position seemed likely to happen quickly, though it could have occurred even sooner. After his first departure from Ajax, there was substantial interest in John. This time, there was immediate concrete interest, with Tottenham Hotspur being one of the options. Therefore, this step does not come as a surprise to me.”
