Solanke ended his spell in the Dutch league with seven goals in 25 appearances.

Returning to England, he was Chelsea’s third choice striker behind Diego Costa and Michy Batshuayi this season but failed to make an appearance.
Rumours of a contract dispute emerged in January with manager Antonio Conte admitting it was likely the starlet would leave.
And today it was confirmed Solanke will ditch the Premier League champions to join Liverpool on July 1 with compensation agreed between the two clubs.
The forward has been capped for England at youth level from U16 to U21 but is yet to make the senior team.
