FC Utrecht interested in signing SC Heerenveen’s Geert-Arend Roorda – Dutch Eredivisie news
Reports suggest that FC Utrecht are taking keen interest in signing SC Heerenveen’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/BSC-Young-Boys-c38692
before the start of the next season. The Utreg management sees the 23-year-old midfielder as a perfect replacement for departing Silberbauer.
The promising youngster started his professional career with Heerenveen in 2007/08 season, but never managed to perform at his best at Abe Lenstra Stadion. He played 34 matches and managed to find the back of the net just twice.
The 23-year-old was loaned to SBV Excelsior at the start of 2011 year, where he scored eight goals in 13 appearances and provided a bagful of assists as well. His good performances for the Kralingers have not gone unnoticed, as the Utrecht-based outfit have
set their sights on the young midfielder.
Besides bringing reinforcements to the midfield, the Utreg are also looking for a right-back. However, the Utreg management have not short-listed any names as yet. Furthermore, the Utreg have to find a striker following the departure of their forward, Ricky
van Wolfswinkel, to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sporting-89-c40576 Clube de Portugal.
Frans van Seumeren, the club owner, has confirmed that his outfit needs to bring in reinforcements in the midfield and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Defence-c38904. Seumeren, however, does not intend to spend on bringing new faces in their front-line and believes that Wolfswinkel’s absence
would be taken care of with existing strikers.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kevin-Strootman-c20775 is also heavily linked with a move away from his current club to play in English Premier League, as Fulham and Liverpool are interested in taking his signature.
The Utreg finished ninth in the Eredivisie table. Consequently, they failed to land a UEFA Europa League berth and the management parted ways with manager Ton http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Du-c11689 Chatinier. The newly appointed coach, Erwin Koeman, has now been given the task of finishing
in the top eight sides in the 2011/12 Eredivisie campaign.
Should the Utreg management manage to bring some new faces in the squad, they will surely manage to achieve better results in the upcoming season.
