Patrick van Aanholt can return to the Dutch fields without warning. The 34-year-old, who was a contract player for PSV last season, is in talks with Sparta over a contract, it is reported. International football follow up Soccer News.

Van Aanholt has been without a club since leaving Eindhoven without a move last summer. The 19-year-old Dutch national team international reportedly wanted to stay with PSV, but never received an offer from the Dutch champions.

Now he can return to the Eredivisie after all. Sparta sees Van Aanholt as a welcome reinforcement.

The last fact is largely related to the performance of the left back in the current selection of the Kasteelclub. Djevencio van der Kust and Mike Kleijn (originally a midfielder) are the two options for Maurice Steijn on the left side of defence, but the two defenders have not yet been left an inevitable prospect at Sparta, who there is a small crisis of sport’.

This is how the Rotterdam team ended up with Van Aanholt, who can sign for Spangen immediately thanks to his immovable status. In addition, Sparta hopes to find an additional dose of practice in Van Aanholt.

Cousin Leroy Fer has an impressive curriculum vitae. As a youth player for PSV, he was picked up by Chelsea, where he would eventually make eight first-team appearances.

The Londoners loaned Van Aanholt to Coventry City, Newcastle United, Leicester City, Wigan Athletic and Vitesse, before making a permanent move to Sunderland. The wing-back ended up at PSV last January via Crystal Palace and Galatasaray.
