PSV completes transfer of winger Ruben van Bommel from AZ-Xinhua
THE HAGUE, July 11 (Xinhua) -- PSV secured the signing of AZ forward Ruben van Bommel on Friday, with the 20-year-old winger signing a contract until mid-2030.
With a transfer fee around 15 million euros (approximately 17.5 million U.S. dollars), Van Bommel is expected to be the successor to Noa Lang in Eindhoven, who is set to move to Italian champion Napoli.
Van Bommel is the son of Mark van Bommel, a 79-cap Dutch international and PSV club legend, and the grandson of former Netherlands coach Bert van Marwijk. He spent seven years in PSV's youth academy before transferring to MVV Maastricht in 2020.
After making his professional debut with MVV in the Dutch first division, he moved to AZ in 2023. During his two seasons in Alkmaar, he scored 17 goals and provided six assists in 73 matches.
"I am especially driven to develop myself further here and of course to win prizes," Van Bommel said on the PSV website after signing with the reigning Dutch champion. ■
