Club Brugge is on the verge of signing Freddie Potts. According to rumors, Blauw-Zwart has reached a full agreement with West Ham United for the transfer of the English midfielder. Potts is expected to arrive in Belgium on Saturday for his medical tests.
What's happening?
Club Brugge has been searching for an extra midfielder for some time, with the departure of Raphael Onyedika looming. Although the Nigerian is still officially a player for Club Brugge, he was left out of the selection for the Supercup and seems to be on the verge of a transfer to Eintracht Frankfurt.
Why is this important for Club Brugge?
In recent days, Peer Koopmeiners has been mentioned as a possible reinforcement, but AZ has rejected several offers. Club Brugge eventually turned to Potts. With the 22-year-old Englishman, a personal agreement had already been reached, and the agreement between the two clubs is now also complete.
What comes next?
Club Brugge is reportedly paying a total package of around 12 million euros. Potts arrives in Belgium on Saturday for his medical examination. If that goes smoothly, his transfer can be officially completed. With Potts' arrival, Club Brugge can find a strong replacement for Raphael Onyedika, who is leaving for Eintracht Frankfurt.
