Derrick Luckassen: Ghanaian-born dutch striker joins Dutch giants PSV

The 22-year-old Luckassen signed a contract for five years until mid-2022.

PSV announced their second major incoming summer transfer on Monday by signing AZ defender Derrick Luckassen.

The 22-year-old Luckassen signed a contract for five years until mid-2022 on Monday. He will join the club's training camp on Tuesday.

The defender, who can also play as a midfielder, was born in Amsterdam and came through the youth academy of AZ. Since 2014 he has played a total of 65 matches in the Dutch top flight, in which he scored five goals.

After Mexican international Hirving Lozano, Luckassen is the second big summer signing for PSV, who want to retain the Dutch championship after a disappointing third place in the 2016/2017 season. The 21-year-old winger Lozano already gave his approval to a contract until 2023 with PSV. He comes over from Mexican side CF Pachuca.

PSV also lost two Mexican internationals this summer. Midfielder Andres Guardado moved to Real Betis Sevilla in Spain and defender Hector Moreno joined Italian side AS Roma.
