The 23-year-old Doekhi, a cousin of ex-international Winston Bogarde, is in his fourth season with Vitesse and has developed strongly in the past two seasons under trainer Thomas Letsch. The Rotterdammer previously played for Excelsior and Jong Ajax. At Union, Doekhi becomes a teammate of Sheraldo Becker, former player of Ajax, PEC Zwolle and ADO Den Haag, among others.
Vitesse is facing a major exodus. In addition to Doekhi, Riechedly Bazoer, Eli Dasa and Oussama Darfalou, who rented out to PEC Zwolle, will also turn their backs on the club. All have an expiring contract. In addition, the mercenaries Jacob Rasmussen, Yann Gboho, Lois Openda and Adrian Grbic will return to their actual clubs. Openda has aroused the interest of PSV. The Belgian attacker, good for 21 goals in 45 matches this season, is under contract with Club Brugge, but the Belgian leader seems to be open to a sale of Openda.
