Wolfsburg – VfL Wolfsburg have signed Dutch central defender Micky van de Ven.
The 20-year-old is moving from the Dutch second division club FC Volendam to the league leader in the Bundesliga. There he receives a four-year contract, as the Lower Saxony announced.
“As a young, success-hungry and motivated player, he fits exactly into our requirement profile and we are convinced that he is still a long way from reaching the end of his development,” said VfL sports director Marcel Schäfer.
Wolfsburg had previously loaned center-back Marin Pongracic to Borussia Dortmund. The 23-year-old Croatian international will join BVB for a year.
