Double Dutch: medical records delay potential Port Vale transfer
Port Vale’s attempts to sign a defender from a Dutch club are being held up by a delay in translating his medical records, Norman Smurthwaite has tweeted.
Vale are reportedly trying to sign a Dutch-based defender but there is a delay as the Valiants attempt to decipher his medical records from his spell in the Netherlands.
Hopefully, the issue won’t delay the move too long but in a series of tweets, Smurthwaite said:
Would you like to translate the medical reports all 44 pages of them for me
