Arthur Vermeeren - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Gets start Vermeeren recorded one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 2-0 win over Mainz. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 60th minute.

Impact Vermeeren hasn't really taken a starting role since joining Leipzig, but he's shown the occasional flashes that earned him a transfer. The defensive midfielder is quick and reads the game well, making him a solid destroyer in midfield, though he perhaps isn't as creative as players such as Amadou Haidara. Vermeeren should see chances off the bench frequently, but starts might be hard to come back.

Makes Leipzig move Vermeeren completed a move to Leipzig from Atleti on loan, with an obligation to buy.

Impact Veremeeren's move will initially be on loan, but it includes an obligation to make the move permanent. The promising defensive midfielder failed to break through with Atleti, but clearly has shown enough for Leipzig to show some interest. If he can stay fit he could compete for a place in the starting XI, though Leipzig have a plethora of options for limited minutes.

Debut appearance Vermeeren recorded one tackle (zero won) and two interceptions in Wednesday's 2-1 victory versus Rayo Vallecano.

Impact Vermeeren made his debut for Athletico Madrid Wednesday. He started and played the first half before being taken off in favor of Nahuel Molina. Vermeeren displayed some of the defensive prowess that has given him the reputation as one of the best young players in Europe. After providing one goal and two assists in six Champions League appearances earlier this season with Royal Antwerp, Vermeeren will hope to show his equally impressive offensive skillset as he continues to settle in under Diego Simeone.

Signs with Atleti Vermeeren has signed a six-and-a-half-year deal with Atletico Madrid from Belgian side Royal Antwerp.

Impact Vermeeren is the big signing of the window for Atletico Madrid. At 18 years old, he doesn't expect to see time right away, but he's already made 66 appearances for Antwerp, which is a crazy number for someone so young. Playing in the midfield, he could be the future replacement for someone like Koke.
