Brentford have completed the transfer of former Netherlands U21 winger Florian Jozefzoon from Dutch side PSV Eindhoven, subject to international clearance.

The 25-year-old has moved to Griffin Park for an undisclosed fee and has signed a contract until the end of the season, with the option to extend the deal by another year.

Jozefzoon completed a medical on Thursday and could make his debut in the FA Cup on Saturday against Premier League leaders Chelsea.

Brentford head coach Dean Smith said: "We are pleased that Florian has committed to us until at least the end of the season.

"We have been tracking him for a while and we are glad we could get him as we knew there were other suitors trying to capture his signature.

"Florian is a talented player who is an explosive ball carrier and will bring another dimension to our play. We are looking forward to working with him."

Jozefzoon has only played five Eredivisie games this season but made 46 league appearances in total for PSV after joining them in 2013 from RKC Waalwijk.

Brentford's co-director of football Phil Giles added: "He was desperate to play football and has agreed to join us for the rest of the season to show everyone what he is capable of.

"Hopefully this will be a successful six months and we will be in a position to secure Florian for a longer period at the end of the season."
