In his words, he said; "As a free agent, I've had, for the first time in a long time, the opportunity to control the next step in my career.
I wanted to take my time to speak with clubs and their Head Coaches to better understand the role they envisioned for me and ensure that I can add real value in this next chapter.
Having spoken in great detail with CEO Dennis te Kloese and manager Robin van Persie, I'm confident that Feyenoord is a place I can be happy and establish myself as a valued member of the team.
Playing abroad is a whole new challenge for me - and one I’m ready to embrace."
