Ajax U21 defender Lucas Jetten is reportedly closing in on a move to SC Cambuur, with the transfer rated at a 92% probability.
The 18-year-old left-back, listed with a market value of €600,000, is being strongly tipped to swap Jong Ajax for fellow Keuken Kampioen Divisie side Cambuur, according to the latest data from Transfermarkt dated 27 May 2026. Both clubs compete in the Dutch second tier, making the potential switch a lateral move in league terms but a potentially significant step in Jetten’s first-team prospects.
Born on 7 June 2007 in Natalspruit, Jetten holds dual nationality with the Netherlands and South Africa and is registered for Ajax Amsterdam U21. Standing at 1.70m and naturally left-footed, he is primarily deployed at left-back. His current deal at Ajax U21 has no publicly listed expiry date, and no contract length is specified, leaving open the possibility that he could become a free agent if his terms are allowed to run down, a factor that may be encouraging interest from Cambuur.
The move, if completed, would keep Jetten in the Keuken Kampioen Divisie, where Ajax U21 currently ply their trade. No fee has been confirmed, but his €600k valuation is likely to frame negotiations, whether as a permanent transfer or a strategically timed deal around any contract expiry. Recent listings place him as part of the Ajax U21 national-team set-up, underlining his status as one of the more closely watched young defenders in the division.
With the rumour surfacing late in May and the probability figure suggesting advanced talks, a switch to Cambuur could offer Jetten the platform to convert youth promise into regular senior football and potentially shape the next phase of his career in both Dutch and South African football circles.
