JD Sports Fashion is not confirming reports that it is about to enter the Dutch market through the takeover of Setpoint, a local menswear retailer with 17 stores in the country that are facing a possible shutdown. The reports indicate that they may be converted into JD stores. Separately, JD is entering the online shoe retailing market with the acquisition of Cloggs, a British web store for footwear that is also trading in some other countries (more on this in Shoe Intelligence).
