Newly-promoted Dutch side NAC Breda have bolstered their ranks with the addition of three players from Manchester City's much vaunted academy.
Thierry Ambrose, Paolo Fernandes and Pablo Mari have all made loan moves to the Dutch side in the hope of some much-needed first team football.
The move is part of an agreement between the sides which will see between four and six City players make the switch every year, similar to the relationship between Chelsea and Vitesse Arnhem.
Delighted to join @NACnl on loan this season, thanks to the fans for their messages. I hope we gonna do a good season in the Eredivisie.
