The 25-year-old left-back from Go Ahead Eagles, Dean James, is one of the players that AEK is interested in. Dean James, who is half Dutch and half Indonesian, recently became an international player for the Indonesian National team. He is under contract with Go Ahead Eagles until the summer of 2028 and made 30 appearances this season with two goals and three assists. AEK's sporting director, Javier Ribalta, has listed James as a high-priority candidate for the left-back position, which the club aims to strengthen with two new signings.
