NAC Breda technical director Hans Smulders believes signing Manchester City youngster Brandon Barker on loan will be a good thing for the Dutch club. Barker is the sixth youngster from the Premier League side to join NAC Breda this summer.
“Brandon is a great talent. His arrival is a win-win situation. He gets this opportunity to develop, and make us stronger as a team,” said Smulders on the Manchester City youngster.
In April it was confirmed NAC Breda and Manchester City had a formed a partnership, which would allow the Premier League side to send players on loan to the Dutch side. The deal will be for a period of five years, and the agreement gives a more formal basis to the relationship.
Manchester City will also collaborate with Breda and share knowledge on matters such as scouting, creating a culture of mutual expertise.
