LEEDS United have further bolstered their youth ranks by signing 17-year-old goalkeeper Dani van den Heuvel from Ajax on a three-year deal.

The goalkeeper joined Ajax after moving from ADO Den Haag and had been with the Eredivisie giants and their prestigious Academy since 2017.

The Dutch teen has to make his first team debut but van den Heuvel has been capped by Netherlands at youth level for the under-15s, 16s and 17s.
