The 21-year-old Dutch youth international has been presented at Al Ain, a top club in the United Arab Emirates, where he will be on loan for the season. Gijselhart has already started training with his new club, as confirmed by Deportivo in a brief statement. The club wishes Gijselhart "much success in this new phase of his sporting career."
Gijselhart's departure from Deportivo comes as no surprise, as he had become convinced in recent months that he was not part of the club's plans. This was evident in the fact that he was assigned the number 34 for the second team, while he was not even included in the squad for the match against Getafe.
