00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Paris Saint Germain have reached a full agreement with Ajax

2
00:00:03.640 --> 00:00:06.679
<v Speaker 1>to secure the transfer of twenty one year old Belgian

3
00:00:06.719 --> 00:00:11.320
<v Speaker 1>winger Mika Gotts following intense multi week negotiations between the

4
00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:14.519
<v Speaker 1>two clubs. A structural deal has been struck for a

5
00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:18.519
<v Speaker 1>fixed fee of fifty two million euros, with performance related

6
00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:22.640
<v Speaker 1>bonuses expected to elevate the total package to around fifty

7
00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:26.839
<v Speaker 1>five million euros. Gots, who was cleared by Ajax to

8
00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:30.600
<v Speaker 1>travel to the French capital on Friday afternoon, is undergoing

9
00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:34.320
<v Speaker 1>his formal medical examinations before putting pen to paper on

10
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:37.640
<v Speaker 1>a long term contract linking him to the French champions

11
00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:41.159
<v Speaker 1>through twenty thirty one. The signature of Gots caps off

12
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:45.560
<v Speaker 1>a remarkable developmental trajectory and represents a staggering return on

13
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:49.960
<v Speaker 1>investment for the Dutch Giants. Ajax originally acquired the dynamic

14
00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:53.840
<v Speaker 1>wide forward from kerc Jank in January twenty twenty three

15
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:57.960
<v Speaker 1>for just one million euros. Over his stint in Amsterdam,

16
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:01.600
<v Speaker 1>Gots established himself as one of the most prolific young

17
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:05.799
<v Speaker 1>attackers in European football, culminating in a breakout campaign where

18
00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:09.519
<v Speaker 1>he notched seventeen goals and twelve assists across thirty two

19
00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:14.400
<v Speaker 1>Aradivasy appearances. His Elite one v one dribbling, sudden acceleration

20
00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:18.000
<v Speaker 1>and technical composure from the left flank made him a

21
00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:23.079
<v Speaker 1>primary priority for PSG manager Luis Enrique, who has systematically

22
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:28.719
<v Speaker 1>targeted explosive, high sealing talent to revamp the club's attacking frontline.

23
00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:33.239
<v Speaker 1>For PSG, capturing Gots provides immediate depth and high level

24
00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:36.239
<v Speaker 1>competition along the wings as they prepare to defend their

25
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:41.480
<v Speaker 1>domestic titles and contend in European competition. The Belgian international

26
00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:45.560
<v Speaker 1>was deliberately held out of Ajax's midweek European fixtures to

27
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:50.000
<v Speaker 1>finalize the transfer logistics, and his arrival in Paris officially

28
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:53.040
<v Speaker 1>closes the door on his time in the Netherlands. With

29
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:57.079
<v Speaker 1>personal terms fully agreed upon and administrative paperwork in the

30
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:01.680
<v Speaker 1>final verification stage between executive boards, Goths is expected to

31
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:04.400
<v Speaker 1>be formally presented at the Park de Princes in the

32
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:06.280
<v Speaker 1>coming days ahead of League One action.
