Gustavo Hamer’s arrival at Coventry City from PEC Zwole has seen Dutch giants Feyenoord receive a sum of €300,000 (£270k).
The 23-year-old defensive midfielder became Mark Robins’ first signing ahead of their return to the Championship after gaining promotion from League One to the Championship via the automatic route.
Hamer, born in Brazil, has plenty of experience having featured for Feyenoord, where he developed through the various youth sides and made his official debut against Ajax in 2017.
Having featured for Feyenoord at youth level, the move to Coventry has now seen the Dutch Eredivisie side pick up a sell-on clause.
Hamer joined Coventry for a reported €1.5m (£1.35m), putting pen to paper on a three-year-deal, seeing him commit to the club until July 2023.
Former club Zwolle signed Hamer from Feyenoord back in 2018 for just £270,000 and that will now be paid back to Feyenoord as part of his initial deal.
Hamer is not the only new face to join the Sky Blues after Julien Costa moved to the Midlands earlier this week.
A nice little pay out for Feyenoord which is only right nowadays for clubs who develop players. Overall, Hamer looks set to be a good signing for Coventry and his arrival is exciting for Mark Robins and the club’s fans.
Coventry are going to approach the Championship in the best condition they can under Robins, who should be given a lot more credit for the job he has done with the Sky Blues.
