da supremo: Dutch champions Ajax have completed the signing of 21-year-old striker Daniel Hoesen from Fulham for an undisclosed fee.
da betsson: Hoesen was signed by Roy Hodgson in 2009, after catching the eye as a 17-year-old playing for Fortuna Sittard in the Dutch second division. However, Hoesen struggled to break into the first-team at Craven Cottage.
As a result he went out on loan to Finnish side HJK Helsinki and then back to Fortuna last season where he proved to be a potent goal threat scoring 13 goals in 33 appearances for the club. Consequently, Ajax coach Frank de Boer has taken a punt on the young Dutch striker who has no experience of playing top-flight football in either the Premier League or the Eredivisie.
Hoesen told the official UEFA website: “I am extremely happy and it is fantastic to play with a top club like Ajax. I moved to Ajax at a young age and that was a nice experience, but luckily Fortuna gave me the chance to play myself into the picture. I am thankful to them for that.”
Ajax will soon learn the fate of who they will be playing in the Group Stages of the Champions League later today.
