Ajax squad: Ismail Aissati arrived from PSV Eindhoven

PSV midfielder Ismail Aissati signed a four-year contract at Ajax, on Monday.

Aissati, who is 19 years old and is part of Under 21 Netherlands team, is only the fourth player ever to make a direct transfer from PSV to Ajax. Earlier this year, Danish striker Kenneth Perez moved back from PSV to Ajax after the club from Eindhoven had acquired him from Ajax in the summer of 2007.

According to Infostrada, Gert Bals was the first player to switch directly from PSV to Ajax in 1965.

As Netherlands Runner-Up, Ajax will go for the UEFA Cup 2008-2009 with Ismail Aissati in the squad.
