Daley De Roon steps up from the Dordrecht academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Daley De Roon has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
In brief
- The dugout No hiding place for Jurre van Aken
