Aske Adelgaard stated that he thinks it is best if either he or his competitor, Dean James, makes a transfer this coming summer.

AEK Athene is interested in signing Dean James. The club has 'excellent contact' with the Indonesian player, and 'advanced talks' are reportedly ongoing with the technical director of AEK Athene. Dean James moved to Go Ahead Eagles from FC Volendam on a free transfer in the summer of 2023 and has a contract until mid-2028. The transfer fee is reported to be around two million euros.
