After promotion to the Bundesliga, Schalke 04 announced Thomas Ouwejan’s permanent commitment. As the Royal Blues announced on Thursday, the 25-year-old man signed a contract for the left midfield until 2024. According to the latest reports from “WAZ”, a mandatory purchase option of 2 million euros for the Dutchman took effect after returning to the German football upper house , who was on loan from AZ Alkmaar this season.
“Thomas has impressively demonstrated this season why we really wanted to bring him over last summer. He is one of the best wingers in the second division and is a great danger in standard situations. We are very happy that Thomas is staying with us and will also enrich our game in the Bundesliga,” explained sporting director Rouven Schröder.
Ouwejan scored eight goals in 27 second division games, making him the second-best preparer for the “Knappen”. “I’ve always said it’s my dream to get promoted to the Bundesliga with Schalke. That we reached the goal is fantastic. I feel very comfortable in the club and in the city – it just fits. That’s why I’m looking forward to starting the next season together with the team after a short breather,” said the left-footed player.
