Sydney FC marquee De Jong eyeing A-League title and Champions League progression

Siem de Jong has his sights firmly on winning the A-League championship and advancing in the AFC Champions League, while the Sydney FC star is open to playing in MLS.

Former Ajax captain De Jong moved to Sydney on a season-long loan deal from the Eredivisie giants in August and the six-time Netherlands international has helped lead the three-time Australian champions into the finals.

De Jong has scored four goals and tallied two assists in 14 A-League appearances in 2018-19 as Sydney sit second and eight points adrift of Premiers Plate winners Perth Glory with two regular-season matches remaining.
