A new playmaker for BVB: Meet Joey Veerman

Joey Veerman, a new playmaker for Borussia Dortmund, was born in Purmerend, North Holland, in 1998. He spent most of his youth and professional career at FC Volendam and SC Heerenveen before joining PSV Eindhoven in January 2022. At PSV, Veerman quickly established himself as a key player, known for his ability to accelerate the play, make precise passes, and set up attacks.

His performance at PSV led to numerous titles, including winning the Dutch league title three times, the Dutch Cup twice, and the Dutch Super Cup three times. He also became a regular member of the Dutch national team, earning 16 international caps and scoring one goal. Veerman's skills have been praised by teammates and coaches, such as Donyell Malen, who called him "the best passer in the Netherlands," and his former coach Peter Bosz, who described him as "the best passer in the Netherlands."

With his move to Borussia Dortmund, Veerman is expected to bring a new dimension to the team's midfield, adding experience and stability to an already talented squad.
