AFC Ajax has pulled off a major transfer coup by signing Julian Brandt. The 30-year-old German midfielder has signed a three-year contract with the Amsterdam club. Brandt was linked to Ajax in the past few weeks, but he could also have chosen a club in the English Premier League. The attacking midfielder has a impressive resume and is a player with a lot of experience. At Borussia Dortmund, he played 307 times and scored 57 goals and provided 70 assists. He is also a 48-time international for Germany. Technical director Jordi Cruijff is very happy with the arrival of the German. "We have been in talks with each other for months and he could also have signed with other clubs. With him, we bring in an international top player with a lot of experience and a fantastic mentality. I'm sure he will give our team a quality boost." Brandt is the next player that Cruijff has managed to sign this transfer period. In addition to Brandt, Marcos Leonardo, Caio Henrique, Daley Blind and Tolu Arokadora have also been signed. Furthermore, the arrival of goalkeeper Marc-André Ter Stegen is almost complete and the Amsterdammers are working on a transfer for Moroccan international Azzedine Ounahi. Ajax currently stands in fifth place in the Eredivisie with 51 points from 30 games. The club is 23 points behind leaders PSV Eindhoven. In the past season, the Amsterdammers have scored 57 goals and conceded 37 goals. The arrival of Brandt is a big boost for the club and will probably give the team a quality boost.
