Monaco have signed Holland defender Terence Kongolo from Feyenoord on a five-year deal.

The 23-year-old made 23 Eredivisie appearances last season as Feyenoord claimed the title for the first time in 18 years.

Ligue 1 champions Monaco have reportedly paid 13 million euro (£11.41m) for Kongolo, who can operate at left-back or in central defence.

The arrival of Kongolo, who has won two caps for Holland, will only heighten speculation over Benjamin Mendy’s future, with Manchester City reportedly interested in the left-back.

Konglolo is seen as a possible replacement for the City target.

He told the club’s official website: “I am very pleased to join AS Monaco. I will discover an exciting new challenge at a prestigious and ambitious club.

“I look forward to meeting the staff, my new team-mates and doing the best on the field to help the group.”

Vadim Vasilyev, general manager at Monaco, added of Kongolo: “We believe very much in his potential and we are convinced that he will find in Monaco the conditions to flourish here.”
