Why FC Dallas is gambling on Maarten Paes

FC Dallas recently signed goalkeeper Maarten Paes on a six-month loan from FC Utrecht with an option to buy following the loan spell.

Just 23-years old, Paes joins FC Dallas after four seasons with FC Utrecht. He started out his goalkeeping career at VV Union and joined the NEC Nijmegen’s academy. From there, Paes eventually developed into a backup goalkeeper in the 18-19 season and later joined Utrecht’s U21 and U23 teams during that season. He debuted for Utrecht’s premier side during the 19-20 season and impressed enough to win the starting job for some time as just a 21-year-old.
