Isimat-Mirin put pen to paper on a four-year contract. He spent last season on loan at PSV and was a key figure in their backline, helping the club capture a 22nd Eredivisie title.
Just look at how much better PSV performed when Isimat-Mirin was on the pitch compared to when he wasn't:
93.3 - @PSV won 93.3 percent of the 15 Eredivisie games with @nicoisimat, compared to 78.9 percent of the 19 without the defender. Talisman.

During PSV's title celebrations, Isimat-Mirin commanded control of the crowd, grabbing the mic and leading the chants in a manner reminiscent of Public Enemy.
