Sunderland reach €10m agreement to sign goalkeeper Robin Roefs from NEC Nijmegen
Sunderland have reached an agreement to sign goalkeeper Robin Roefs from NEC Nijmegen. The deal will be worth north of €10.5million (£9m; $12.1m) plus €3m add-ons and will also include a sell-on clause. Roefs, 22, is scheduled to undergo a medical on Wednesday before joining the newly-promoted side on a five-year contract. He is expected to be Sunderland's new starting goalkeeper. The Netherlands Under-21 international would become their seventh recruit of the summer transfer window following the arrivals of Reinildo Mandava, Chemsdine Talbi, Noah Sadiki, Enzo Le Fee, Habib Diarra, and Simon Adingra. Regis Le Bris' side are also close to completing the acquisition of former Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka from Bayer Leverkusen. Roefs came through NEC Nimegen's youth academy and has gone on to make 42 appearances, helping them achieve an eighth-place finish last season. He has also represented his country at various youth levels, featuring at the recent Under-21 European Championship. Roefs contributed in a run to the semi-finals, where they were beaten by eventual winners England.
