Owen Wijndal

Owen Wijndal of Ajax was born in Zaandam, Netherlands on 28 November 1999 (age 26).

Owen Wijndal is a Dutch left-back, born on 28 November 1999 (age 26), now with Ajax. His current market value is around £3m, according to Transfermarkt.

His early senior grounding came at Jong AZ, where the 2017-18 season was his most productive league campaign in front of goal: two goals in 16 appearances. For a full-back, that is useful enough without needing to be dressed up as something grander. It was a proper development step, giving him regular football before his career moved on to the higher demands of Ajax.

In 2026-27, Wijndal has made seven Eredivisie appearances for Ajax, along with five in Conference League qualifying and two in the Conference League proper. He has scored twice in Europe this season, giving him 14 appearances and two goals for Ajax across all competitions.

Wijndal’s career has been shaped by that AZ grounding and his later place at Ajax. He is an established Dutch left-back with European minutes behind him and a current role that keeps him in the first-team picture.

He progressed through AZ's academy from July 2016 and earned a transfer to Ajax for £9m in July 2022; a loan to Royal Antwerp began in September 2023 and he returned to Ajax in June 2024, a trajectory that moved him from academy prospect to a player traded for a significant fee and then loaned abroad to consolidate first-team minutes.
