Dies Janse, born on 17 January 2006 (age 20), is a Dutch central defender with Ajax, where he wears squad number 36. At 6ft 5in (1.96m), he is an imposing presence, which is not a bad starting point for a centre-half, though Ajax will expect rather more than reach and shoulders.
His 2025–26 season has given him proper first-team relevance. Janse has made 31 Eredivisie appearances, scoring two goals, with further outings in the European play-offs and KNVB Beker taking him to 33 appearances and two goals in all competitions for Ajax. It has also been his most productive league campaign, with those two goals coming across 31 league matches.
His market value is around £765,000, according to Transfermarkt. Janse remains a developing defender, but in 2025–26 he has been a regular part of the Ajax first-team picture rather than a name parked at the edge of the squad.
