Ajax signs deal with R&F over youth academy

Ajax Amsterdam will share its experience in nurturing young talent with Guangzhou R&F and help the Chinese Super League club develop its own youth academy.

Four-time European champion Ajax signed a five-year, 10-million euro (US$12 million) deal yesterday, saying it will also help the Dutch club to grow. Ajax director and former Netherlands international goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar said the youth academy “has been extremely important to Ajax for decades in everything we do”. He said sharing the knowledge with Guangzhou “is good for both clubs”. Guangzhou R&F vice president Nicky Wong said Ajax “has the best youth academy in the world” and fits the Chinese club’s style of play and plans for developing talent. “We have great confidence in a fruitful cooperation.”
