Wolfsburg have announced the signing of Bas Dost from SC Heerenveen. The striker signed a five year contract that will keep him at the Bundesliga club until June 2017. The transfer fee was not disclosed, but the figure is estimated to be around €9 million.
Bas Dost Signs For Wolfsburg
Bas Dost has signed a five year deal with Wolfsburg.
Felix Magath is happy with the signing: “He is extremely dangerous in front of goal and a strong player inside the penalty area who always knows where the target is. I’m convinced that he can play an even more important a role at our club.”
Dost, 23, had an unbelievable season in the Eredivisie scoring 32 goals in 34 matches. This was the most in the league since Luis Suarez scored 35 for Ajax in the 2009-2010 season. While everyone know that the Eredivisie is a high scoring league, Dost's goalscoring totals cannot be ignored, and he has been highly sought after on the transfer market.
Dost will have the opportunity to impress Magath when he joins this summer with the departure of Mario Mandzukic, but he will also have his work cut out for him with Srdan Lakic returning form his loan to Hoffenheim and Ivica Olic joining on a free transfer from Bayern Munich.
