The newly promoted Ligue 1 club announced on its official website that the Dutch Under-21 international is expected to bring speed, strength in duels, and technical quality to the team. Hoever was formed at Ajax Amsterdam before moving to Liverpool, where he was introduced by Jürgen Klopp in January 2019. He played four matches with the Reds before signing for Wolverhampton. After 25 matches with the Wolves, he was subsequently loaned to PSV Eindhoven and then Stoke City. Last season, he played 44 matches in all competitions.
