The paperwork begins on Marc Vidal
A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Zwolle have done the hard part with Benfica, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

“The easiest signature of my career.” Nick Viergever and Zwolle agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Denso Kasius in a row with a teammate

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Utrecht in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

The manager makes Tijs Velthuis a promise
Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Zwolle. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.
In brief
- Market Nick Viergever’s agent stirs the pot again
- Market Niño Schepers leaves for nothing
- Market Gilles van der Wal leaves for nothing
