The former AZ and Almere City forward says his focus is on helping the Portland Timbers qualify for the MLS play-offs as he continues building fitness.

The midfielder has confirmed talks with Sparta Rotterdam and hopes renewed fitness can help him earn a step up from Almere City.

FC Volendam have won every home match but lost on each of their trips after suffering another frustrating defeat at Almere City.

A first-half goal secured a 1-0 win for Almere City, while Saturday’s other three Keuken Kampioen Divisie matches finished level.

Enzo Cornelisse settled the contest in Almere, while draws dominated elsewhere in the Keuken Kampioen Divisie.

The joint academy’s Under-17 meeting with Almere City has been selected as its featured fixture for the week.

Up to 400 Heracles Almelo supporters can attend the Eerste Divisie fixture in Almere, with bus tickets priced at €37.50 and the limited allocation of car-combination tickets already sold out.

The former Netherlands striker scored his first MLS goals as Portland edged Minnesota United 5-4 in a nine-goal contest.

Ferdy Druijf scored twice before late goals from Enzo Cornelisse and Olivier de Nijs turned a close contest into a heavy home defeat.

Jack Cooper-Love struck a hat-trick as Emmen overturned an early deficit to win 6-4 in Amsterdam, while Jong AZ and Vitesse also collected away victories.

The Arnhem side will be without their goalkeeper for two matches after he accepted a three-game suspension, with one fixture conditional.
