In other news, leading agent Neil Fewings has joined ROOF as a managing partner after working for 15 years as a vice president of global football for the Wasserman agency.

Fewings, along with Nabile Hakimi and their team will work on the expansion of their brand across the UK and Europe. Acquiring the likes of van Dijk and Elliott is definitely helping in the expansion.

They expect a few more high-profile names to get attached to the company. Added to the offices in Munich and Madrid, ROOF now has an office in London as well to boost the strategic growth plans.

While it seems like normal news for the common public, it is big for the players. A host of players getting represented by such a big company is always good for their brand and marketing. These things are key parts of the components in the world game of the modern age.
