Sam de Grand has made the move to SK Lommel on loan, as reported by Voetbal International. The 21-year-old defender had yet to make a debut in AZ's first team, instead playing for the club's reserve team. With limited prospects for playing time, a loan transfer to his former club was chosen. In Alkmaar, De Grand would have had to compete with Mateo Chávez and Mees de Wit for a spot in the team. NAC Breda had also been interested in signing De Grand, but Lommel appears to have won the battle for his services.
