'Seal dribbler' heads to Holland on season-long loan

Ajax have confirmed the loan signing of Inter's Brazilian attacking midfielder de Souza Kerlon. The 21-year-old, who is known for his famous 'seal dribble' skills, has joined the Dutch giants on a season-long loan after struggling to make an impact in Serie A. Kerlon has seldom played in Italy since moving to Chievo from Cruzeiro as injury problems blighted his time there before the highly-rated youngster was snapped up by Inter. Ajax now have an option to buy the pint-sized playmaker should Inter not wish to retain him and are reportedly not paying the Italian champions for the loan service. Former Tottenham boss Martin Jol, now in charge at the Amsterdam ArenA, is also expected to complete the signings of Marko Pantelic and midfielder Ze Eduardo from Cruzeiro.
