Edson Braafheid joins Bayern Munich

Dutch defender Edson Braafheid plays the next four seasons for German Bundesliga side Bayern Munich. This was confirmed by the club this Tuesday.

Braafheid formed part of the FC Twente team that finished second in this year’s Eredivisie, and spent two and a half years at the Enschede outfit. The left-back scored one goal in 76 games.

His solid performance caught the attention of Dutch giants Ajax and PSV, but the player eventually opted to move abroad.

Braafheid, who joins fellow countrymen Louis van Gaal and Mark van Bommel in Munich, is the club’s seventh new signing ahead of next season. Other names include Mario Gomez, Ivica Olic and Danijel Pranjic.
