According to Voetbal International, Feyenoord defender Marcus Pedersen is close to joining Sassuolo. The Norwegian right-back has spent the last two seasons in Rotterdam, and after helping his side lift their 16th Eredivisie title, the 23-year-old is set to make a move. There are still some details that need to be agreed before the transfer can take place.

With the arrival of Bart Nieuwkoop (27), who immediately picked up a red card on his return debut for the club, Pedersen’s role at Feyenoord seems to be over. Lutsharel Geertruida (23) can also play as a right-back. The Dutch defender was close to joining RB Leipzig earlier in the transfer window, but a move broke down.
