Director of Sport Pantaleo Corvino has seemingly worked out a deal with the club for €2m and it could be finalised within days.

Although Grot plays as a centre-forward, he can also take on a role behind the strikers or on the right flank.

He has represented the Netherlands at Under-17, Under-18 and Under-19 level.
