PSV Eindhoven defender Derrick Luckassen has been handed stiff competition following the signing of Denzel Dumfries.
Dumfries has joined the Dutch giants on a five-year deal from Heerenveen.
He is expected to provide key competition for Ghanaian centre-back Luckassen, who has impressed for the side since joining.
The Jong Oranje-international was trained by Sparta Rotterdam, for which he also debuted in professional football on 20 February 2015.
As a basic player, he celebrated the Jupiler League championship with the Rotterdam team a year later.
In the same season, Dumfries was proclaimed talent of the year. "When I played at Sparta there was already some contact," Dumfries said during his presentation.
"PSV then continued to follow me."
