Norwich City have signed Netherlands international midfielder Leroy Fer from FC Twente for an undisclosed fee.
The 23-year-old has agreed a four-year deal and joins compatriot Ricky van Wolfswinkel among the six new arrivals at Carrow Road this summer.
Fer scored 21 goals in 71 appearances for Twente following a move from Feyenoord in 2011.
"He's a very versatile Dutch international,"
"At 23 he has that pleasing balance of having acquired experience playing over 100 games in the Dutch league - but still having plenty of time ahead of him to continue his development as a player here with us at Norwich City."
Although a full international with two caps, Fer was also part of the Netherlands Under-21 squad for this summer's European Championship.
Everton were set to sign Fer last season but pulled out of the move after concerns following a medical.
Javier Garrido, Nathan Redmond, Martin Olsson and Carlo Nash are the other four players to join the Canaries this summer.
