PSV bring in goalkeeper Jurjus
Netherlands Under-21 goalkeeper Hidde Jurjus has completed his transfer to PSV, signing a five-year deal in Eindhoven.
PSV have signed promising goalkeeper Hidde Jurjus from De Graafschap for an undisclosed fee.
The 22-year-old has penned a five-year deal with the Eredivisie champions.
PSV were keen to bring in an extra shot stopper following a shoulder injury to Luuk Koopmans that we will keep him out for several months and have now swooped for Jurjus.
"We had been keeping tabs on Hidde for a while. We stepped up our interest following Koopmans' injury," sporting director Marcel Brands explained.
"[First-choice goalkeeper] Jeroen Zoet will not be at PSV forever, so we have made this signing with an eye on the future."
Jurjus came through the ranks of the De Graafschap youth academy and was keen to make the next step in his career after a successful spell in Doetinchem.
"This is a great chance to keep on developing," the goalkeeper stated.
