Joost Van Aken To S6

Looking highly likely the Owls have signed this guy on a 4yr from Heerenveen. 23yrs old 6' 5" CB.

Looks to be a done deal :

Not a lot of response to this, I think we signed a pretty decent player although he won't be an international in a hurry. Good addition and one that we needed considering the lack of depth in defence.

He's a big lad that's for sure.

Is it pronounced as it's spelled?

I'm guessing it pronounced Yoost Van Arkan

Hopefully a decent signing, time will tell but not heard much about him until now

Van Aken is difficult to explained as the second e noise isn't very familiar in English. The closest is the first sound in uhmmm and the A is extended, so becomes like aaah - Van Aaahkeunn is probably the closest I can describe it as
