FC Midtjylland sign ex-Spurs star Van der Vaart

Danish side FC Midtjylland have announced the signing of former Spurs midfielder Rafael van der Vaart on a two-year deal.

The Dutchman left Real Betis in the summer after an underwhelming spell in Spain due to fitness issues and a struggle to find form.

The wait has been long, but now I'm an FC Midtjylland player, and I am really pleased. I am looking to get started in the club and meet my new team-mates.

It is a young team with many young players and a good academy. I am by now an experienced player, so I hope I can help them with my experience. I am convinced that it will be a perfect match.

Physically I feel good, but of course I lack a little. I want to play football, and I am glad therefore also to get started with the training.
