Article body
FC Groningen have secured the services of PSV Eindhoven goalkeeper Jelle ten Rouwelaar for the rest of the season, while PSV have signed Sparta Rotterdam keeper Frank Kooiman.
Beukenkamp injury
Groningen's first-choice keeper Roy Beukenkamp sustained a severe hamstring injury last weekend so the club have brought in the 22-year-old Ten Rouwelaar on loan. Former Dutch Under-21 international Ten Rouwelaar has not been in the running for a starting spot at the Eredivisie leaders but will play first-team football at Groningen. In turn PSV have brought in 33-year-old Sparta goalkeeper Kooiman to act as back-up for Ronald Waterreus while Ten Rouwelaar is on loan.
'Quality replacement'
"The loan of Ten Rouwelaar would only have been possible if we were able to find a quality replacement for him and we did," said PSV's technical director Frank Arnesen.
