Dortmund scores Veerman despite Premier League options and Turkish lure

Joey Veerman, former PSV midfielder, completed his desired transfer to German Borussia Dortmund this summer, just before the limited transfer sum expired. He said that besides Dortmund he also had options in the Premier League and the Turkish competition.

Dortmund saw Veerman as a perfect match, partly because of his three years of Champions League experience at PSV. He left PSV.” And could offer him an intensive training programme that matches the demands of the German competition.

At Dortmund he feels at home immediately. For Veerman the move means a chance to return to the Dutch national team, while Dortmund gets a player who can adapt quickly and cope with the intensity of the Bundesliga.
