Les Parisiens have successfully lured the Dutch international to Parc des Princes on a deal that will keep him in the French capital until the summer of 2016.
Reports from Amsterdam Arena confirm that Paris Saint-Germain have successfully managed to acquire the services of Gregory van der Wiel from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AFC-Ajax-c38228 after agreeing to pay a transfer fee in the region of six million Euros.
The Dutch international has reportedly put pen to paper on a deal that will keep him at Parc des Princes until the end of the 2015/16 season.
Van der Wiel, who came through the ranks of De Joden’s youth academy, made over 100 league appearances while donning the jersey of the Amsterdammers since making his professional football debut at Amsterdam Arena in the 2006/07
season.
The highly-rated right-back was extremely delighted after completion of his move, and revealed that he is looking forward to the new challenge.
“After playing for Ajax over 13 years, making my professional debut on the 11th of March 2007 against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Twente-c39233, it is time to take the next step in my career and it is a step I am extremely proud of! I am looking forward to a
new city, a bigger competition, meeting my new teammates and starting of with a new period in my life”, Van der Wiel was quoted as saying to his official website.
The 24-year-old will provide stiff competition to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Christophe-Jallet-c9179 at right-back position. Jallet has been a regular at the full-back position since arriving at Parc de Princes in the summer of 2009.
Jallet, who has thus far played 102 games for Les Parisiens, was delighted at the arrival of the Dutch international, and was not hesitant to praise his new teammate.
“He is a very good player, I saw him at Euro 2012. Mine was the only position not to have two available players, this adds a bit of spice, I will need to be good in training to try and keep my place in the side at the weekend”,
the French international said while talking to media.
Van der Wiel becomes PSG’s fifth summer signing after the club spent heavily to lure http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-c38029 to Parc des Princes earlier this summer.
