The former De Graafschap ace has long been linked with a move away from the Eredivisie outfit to join Bayern Munich, Liverpool or Arsenal, but the striker is of the view that he is likely to stay at De Grolsch Veste.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luuk-de-Jong-c22956, has insisted that he has yet to be contacted by any of his admirers, and therefore believes that he will remain at De Grolsch Veste.
The 21-year-old hit-man, who joined the Enschede giants in the summer of 2009 after making 14 appearances for De Graafschap, has been performing brilliantly upfront for the past couple of seasons. However, his showings in the recently
concluded season introduced him as one of the best emerging strikers in Europe, netting a prolific 25 goals in 32 Eredivisie appearances.
His consistent performances upfront coupled with his classy finishing skills and aerial ability garnered him interest from a host of elite European clubs including the likes of Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809, Arsenal,
Everton and Fulham.
However, the youngster has now revealed that he has not heard anything from any interested club.
“I have still heard nothing and I therefore assume that I will just stay at Twente. Perhaps something very attractive will come. Then I'll consider it”, De Jong said while talking to journalists.
The technically gifted striker is currently competing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032.
Understandably, the youngster stands third in the pecking order behind the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 and Schalke strikers. However, the Dutchman has stressed that he is learning a lot while training with the Oranje.
“No matter how it turns out, this has been a wonderful experience. I train every day with top players. That makes me the better for it”, De Jong concluded.
The highly-rated attacker has a contract at De Grolsch Veste that runs until the summer of 2014. Although, the Tukkers management would not let go of their prized asset this summer, an offer in the region of 14 million Euros could
prove to be a too tempting bid to turn down.
