Feyenoord Signs Defender Anel Ahmedhodzic from Sheffield United
Feyenoord has completed the signing of defender Anel Ahmedhodzic from Championship club Sheffield United on a four-year contract.
The 26-year-old player made 114 appearances for Sheffield United after joining the team in July 2022 from the Swedish club Malmö.
Ahmedhodzic joins Feyenoord, who finished third in the Eredivisie last season, following an agreement for a transfer fee of £15.6 million (18 million euros).
The Dutch club is currently working to secure his eligibility for their Champions League qualifying match against Fenerbahce on Wednesday.
During his time at Sheffield United, Ahmedhodzic played a key role in helping the team gain promotion to the Premier League in the 2022-23 season. He also participated in their subsequent top-flight campaign and last season's Championship play-off final, where they were narrowly defeated by Sunderland.
"Things have moved incredibly quickly in the last few days," Ahmedhodzic stated on Feyenoord's website. "I couldn’t be happier. Playing for such a prestigious European club is something I’ve always aspired to achieve.
"I’m grateful to Feyenoord for providing me with this opportunity and for their efforts to ensure I can play in the matches against Fenerbahce. I can’t wait to wear this shirt and give my all alongside my new teammates. Here’s to many great things ahead!"
