Feyenoord will soon strengthen itself with Karim Dermane. 1908 reports on Wednesday that the eighteen-year-old midfielder from Togo is completely finished with the Rotterdam team. Dermane will fly from Ghana to the Netherlands this week to complete the transfer, it sounds like. He is expected to be presented to Feyenoord after the weekend, where he will sign a contract until mid-2026.

The interest in Dermane came out at the end of last year. The midfielder has been on the lists of Feyenoord scouts for some time. The talent had already completed an internship at Varkenoord and the technical management at the time was impressed by the ‘stormy development’ that he went through in a short period of time. He left a strong impression in an exhibition game with Werder Bremen. Dermane was described in September as possible January signing.
