Ipswich Town has successfully completed negotiations for the acquisition of Union Saint-Gilloise goalkeeper Kjell Scherpen.

The 26-year-old will cost the English club 13 million euros.

Interestingly, the Dutchman could also perform well on the basketball court—his height reaches 206 cm.

Introducing the player to fans, Ipswich Town emphasized the record height of the footballer for the Premier League.
