Ajax have now lost Mika Godts. The Belgian has made the move to Paris Saint-Germain, leaving a sizeable vacancy on the left flank. In Amsterdam, Godts developed into one of the Eredivisie's most dangerous wingers. His combination of pace, dribbling ability and running in behind made him difficult to defend against. It is exactly that type of threat Ajax must now try to find again.
He was called up only three times by Julian Nagelsmann and missed the last two major tournaments. Julian Brandt’s start at Ajax is now fuelling hopes of a comeback in the Germany team – just like Nagelsmann’s successor.
Raheem Sterling is facing a potential two-year prison sentence after being formally charged following a high-profile car crash in May. The former Manchester City and Liverpool winger was involved in a single-vehicle collision on the M3 involving his luxury Lamborghini.
Feyenoord has launched a scathing assessment of its own supporters following a night of violence that left several rival fans injured during their Eredivisie victory. The club labeled the behavior as "simply terrible" after fireworks thrown from the away end resulted in multiple hospitalisations and a lengthy suspension of play.
