Ruben van Bommel (20) is going to play at PSV, the Eindhoven football club reports Friday morning. The international of the Juniors will play with number 7 and will immediately travel on Monday with the main force to the training camp in Germany. “I have always had in my head that if PSV would report that I would really like to go there,” says the attacker.
“To come out for PSV 1, something I have always dreamed of,” says Van Bommel. He played for seven years in the youth academy of PSV before he ended up at AZ via football club MVV. In addition, his father Mark is a true club legend.
For PSV it is not a record transfer, but a big one. The club has a lot of faith in the long and physically strong winger. And Van Bommel wants to deliver on that. “There is always a lot of pressure, I have had that all my life and I am used to. I am especially driven to further develop myself here and of course to win prizes.”
“I can’t wait to start.”
The football player signed his new contract in the presence of his loved ones, including his father Mark. “This is a day that I really looked forward to and that I will never forget. I can’t wait to start,” he says.
Technical director Earnest Stewart is also happy with the transfer from Van Bommel. “Ruben had been at the top of our list for some time to strengthen our attack,” he says. “Ruben is a unique athlete, with a very good shot, a lot of depth in his game and a dangerously strong dribble. At the same time he has the right one mindset And he is only twenty years old, which means that there is also a lot of room for growth. Ruben is a wonderful reinforcement for PSV in every way. “
