AZ lead Eredivisie as PSV and Twente keep up 100% record
PSV had a hectic transfer deadline day. The KNVB cup holders brought back an old favorite in Hirving Lozano. The Mexican winger was a huge fan favorite at the club from 2017-2019. He is joining from Napoli in Italy for a reported 15 million euros. PSV had money to spend due to the sale of midfielder Ibrahim Sangare to English side Nottingham Forest. Lozano will sign a contract for five seasons. “It was my wish and my family’s wish to return here. Our first stay here was special, and it has stuck with me,” said the 64-time Mexican international.
PSV has qualified for the Champions League for the first time in five years. The Eindhovenaren were too strong for Rangers in the playoffs in a sold-out Phillips Stadium: 5-1. The win was sufficient after the 2-2 draw eight days ago in Glasgow. Reaching the group stage will come as a relief along with happiness. PSV was close to qualifying on several occasions over the last few years, but it kept going wrong at the most critical phase. The Brabanders lost to Benfica two years ago in the playoffs and were shocked last year against Rangers.
