The hockey club that an Eredivisie star’s girlfriend plays for has inadvertently given away a big transfer move, with Marcus Pederson’s switch to Serie A side Sassuolo effectively announced by HC Den Bosch.

The right-back is set to leave Feyenoord, with Noor Omrani’s hockey club effectively confirming the news before either club had the opportunity to on Monday.

"On to great plans and fantastic adventures in Italy with Marcus Pedersen," HC Den Bosch wrote on Instagram in a post that has since been deleted by the club.

The 23-year-old Norwegian right-back met his Dutch girlfriend during his time at Feyenoord and are now moving to Italy together, where Pederson will sign for the club that finished 13th in the table last season.

Pedersen likes the move himself. The role of the 18-time international seems to have been filled after Feyenoord strengthened themselves earlier this summer with the arrival of Bart Nieuwkoop.

The 27-year-old defender returned to the Stadionclub two years after his departure, which took him over from Union Sint-Gillis for €2 million. Lutsharel Geertruida can also play at right back.

Pedersen played a total of 88 matches for Feyenoord in two years, in which he scored one goal and generated assists.

The Norwegian will probably not be the only right-back to leave Feyenoord this summer, as there is renewed interest from the Bundesliga for Geertruida.

Bayern Munich sees the Rotterdammer as the ideal successor to Benjamin Pavard and has already had the first talks with the defender, which is positive news for Manchester United as they attempt to sign the France international from the Allianz Arena side.
