The Bosnian international has now completed a move to Feyenoord, saying, “Things have moved incredibly quickly in the last few days. I couldn't be happier. Playing for such a big European club is something I've always worked hard for.”

Ahmedhodzic's timely availability is a boost for Feyenoord, who are dealing with several injuries ahead of their season opener. Notably, centre-back Gernot Trauner is among the key players ruled out for the Champions League qualifier against Fenerbahce.
Feyenoord boss Robin van Persie has already said that there's a “big chance” Ahmedhodzic plays against Fenerbahce.
The third-round qualifier between Feyenoord and Fenerbahce kicks off on Wednesday, August 6th, at 21.00 CET.
