The Dutch international helped Toulouse win their first major trophy with their Coupe de France success in 2023, scoring two goals in the final against Nantes.

Dallinga will serve as a replacement for Joshua Zirkzee, who completed a ￡36.5million switch to Manchester United last week.

Zirkzee scored 11 times in Serie A last season, helping Bologna clinch qualification to the Champions League as they finished fifth in Italy's top flight.
