Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani has sent Pascal Struijk a message of thanks after signing a new long-term deal at Elland Road. The Whites chief thanked the Dutch defender for his loyalty, hours after the club announced he would pen a new deal to stay at the club until 2027.
The 23-year-old, who first joined the club after impressing on trial in 2018, has been a mainstay for the Whites since they won promotion to the Premier League. The versatile defender has filled in at left-back for a large part of the current campaign, winning plaudits along the way.
The defender had hoped to be included in the Netherlands World Cup squad in Qatar, having been included in the provisional squad for the tournament. However, he was left out of Louis Van Gaal's final 26-man squad.
