Joël Drommel joins Sparta Rotterdam on loan from PSV
Joël Drommel has finalised his loan transfer from PSV to Sparta Rotterdam, the two Eredivisie clubs have confirmed. Drommel arrives at Het Kasteel as the successor to Nick Olij, who took the opposite route earlier this summer. The 28-year-old goalkeeper from Bussum will have to compete with Filip Bednarek. Sparta were also linked with Jasper Schendelaar, but the PEC Zwolle goalkeeper proved too expensive. Advertisement To prevent Drommel from leaving on a free transfer after his loan spell at Sparta, PSV are extending his expiring contract until the summer of 2027. He transferred from FC Twente to PSV four years ago for a hefty €3.5 million and played 66 matches in Eindhoven. In the 2022-23 season, Drommel experienced his biggest highlight at PSV, saving the decisive penalty in the cup final against Ajax. Sparta director Gerard Nijkamp indicated that Drommel's transfer was also necessary for the goalkeeper himself. 'He wants to become the first-choice goalkeeper at an Eredivisie club again, something PSV couldn't offer him. 'With us, Joël can prove in pre-season why he's ready to become Sparta's first-choice goalkeeper. We're very happy with Joël's arrival, as we've been looking for good replacements for Olij this summer.' GBeNeFN | Max Bradfield

At Het Kasteel, the 21-year-old registered two goals and three assists in 14 Eredivisie appearances. Advertisement Due to this reasonable form, Twente will now buy out the Icelandic prospect's contract. This still has a year to run. The transfer fee is so far unknown.
