Ajax sign Lerin Duarte as Eriksen replacement

Eredivisie giants Ajax Amsterdam has completed the transfer of Lerin Duarte from Heracles Almelo as the replacement for Christian Eriksen who recently left the club to join Premier League side Tottenham Hotspurs.

The deal is believed to be worth in excess of €3million and would see 23 year old Duarte stay at Amsterdam till the end pof 2017.


"The clubs have come to an agreement, now I have to pass the medical and reach a deal on my personal terms," he told Dutch broadcaster NOS ahead of finalising his switch.


"Normally that won't be a problem with the club. I will just play my own game, so it will work out. It's a dream to make this step to Ajax."
