Schalke expects to sign Dutch midfielder Engelaar

Tue 24th, June 2008

Gelsenkirchen, Germany (Sports Network) - Schalke are confident of completing the signing of midfielder Orlando Engelaar from FC Twente.

Engelaar, 28, was one of the standout performers in the Netherlands' bid for Euro 2008 glory and has been linked with several Premier League and Bundesliga clubs.

But despite stiff competition for the midfielder's signature, General Manager Andreas Muller expects him to join Schalke.

"I hope that we can sort out the transfer this week," he said. "Orlando only wants to come to us. He had clearly earlier already opted for Schalke. That is our trump card.

"After Holland's exit from the Euros, Orlando will speak himself with Twente's president, Joop Munstermann. I expect a reasonable agreement."
