Van de Beek reveals glowing reference
Donny van de Beek has confirmed fellow Dutchman and former Blue John Heitinga gave Everton a glowing reference ahead of sealing his loan move from Manchester United – and the player says he is saving the prospect of playing for the club’s “amazing and emotional” supporters.
Van de Beek became Frank Lampard’s first signing as Everton manager on a busy transfer deadline day, which also saw a permanent deal for Dele Alli from Tottenham Hotspur.
Netherlands international van de Beek was part of an exceptional Ajax side before joining United in summer 2020, having come through the ranks at the Dutch giants’ illustrious academy.
When he first broke into the senior Ajax team in 2015/16, Van de Beek counted Heitinga as a teammate, the ex-Everton defender having rejoined the club where he started his career for his swansong season.
As first revealed in the ECHO on Sunday, Van de Beek explains how he reached out to Heitinga when the opportunity to join Everton presented itself – and he says the passion and loyalty of Evertonians was foremost in their conversations.
