Feyennord sign Dirk Kuyt
Dutch forward Dirk Kuyt has agreed to join Feyenoord in the summer transfer window, the Eredivisie side announced on their official website.
The 34-year-old has already penned a one-year deal with his former club, but chances are he will be staying at De Kuip for much longer.
Being a model professional, the former Liverpool star appears to still have at least few more good years ahead of him.
“It is the conclusion of nine great years abroad. I have had three wonderful years here in Turkey and won everything there is to win,” Kuyt told club’s official website.
“It is now a good time to return. I’m in peak condition and I feel a great drive to make a success of my time at De Kuip.
“Hopefully there will be one difference from my first period. I really want to win something now.”
During his first spell with Feyenoord, Kuyt scored impressive 71 goals in 101 league appearances and he is now expected to lead a youthful side that will be coached by his former international teammate Giovanni van Bronckhorst from next season.
