The 21-year-old winger has been heavily linked with a move to Eredivisie champions Ajax Amsterdam this summer but the club technical director Johan Hansma insists that his side does not intend to lose the youngster.
Heerenveen have performed brilliantly thus far this season. Occupying the sixth spot on the Eredivisie table, they are only a single point behind second placed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AZ-c38571 Alkmaar.
The Friesland outfit’s impressive performances this term owe a lot to their strong front-line and especially to their young winger, Luciano Narsingh.
The Dutch footballer of Indian-Surinamese descent has played an integral role in his side’s consistent showings. The youngster has netted six goals in 30 appearances, but his 18 valuable assists forged him into one of the most threatening wingers in the
Dutch top flight.
He troubled almost every opposition with his impressive dribbling and pin-point crosses into the penalty area and remained a constant menace at the right flank.
The 21-year-old’s scintillating shows attracted interest from Ajax Amsterdam, who are keen to add the young winger to their squad in the upcoming summer transfer market.
However, the Heerenveen technical director, Johan Hansma, has insisted that his side does not intend to lose the youngster and are keen to prolong his stay at Abe Lenstra Stadion.
“We want to extend his ongoing contract. But frankly, I think chances are relatively small. If he does not put pen to a new contract, then we will certainly part ways with him in order to avoid a free transfer next summer”, Hansma was quoted as saying to
De Telegraaf.
The technical director went on to admit that the Amsterdam giants did make a lucrative offer in January transfer window, but they refused to sell their prized asset then.
“Ajax tabled a good bid, but we refused. I know they are still interested in signing him, and Luciano himself wants to play at Amsterdam Arena. His agent (Mino Raiola) has contacted us to see whether any other clubs are interested in signing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luciano-c22574. We
will see what comes after the end of the season”, Hansma concluded.
Narsingh’s contract at Abe Lenstra Stadion runs until the summer of 2013.
