Blackburn have announced the signing of highly-rated
striker Maceo Rigters from NAC Breda for an undisclosed
fee.
The Dutch frontman, who starred for Holland as they won the
Under-21 European Championships in June, has signed a four-year
deal at Ewood Park.
Rigters, 23, had been linked with a host of British clubs including
Celtic, Rangers, Newcastle and Norwich City.
He was due to travel to Glasgow for signing talks with Celtic on
Tuesday, but instead signed for Blackburn for an undisclosed
fee.
Rigters' goals in the Under-21 European Championships were enough
to give him the golden boot as the tournament's top scorer.
A product of Ajax's youth academy, he has also played for
Heerenveen and FC Dordrecht before joining NAC Breda in 2004.
