Heracles Almelo midfielder, Willie Overtoom, has expressed uncertainty about contract extension. The 25-year-old has an ongoing contract with the Heraclieden that is due to expire in the summer of 2013.
The attacking midfielder joined the outfit from Almelo at the start of 2008/09 season. Although the then 21-year-old had did not have much experience, only managing nine appearances for Eerste Divisie outfit Telstar, he has developed into one of the key
players in the Heraclieden squad.
The 25-year-old has thus far played 94 matches for the outfit from Almelo. He managed to hit the back of the net on 26 occasions while providing plenty of assists in the process, proving his worth on the centre of the pitch.
Reports indicate that the Heracles management wants to bind the midfielder for a longer period at Polman Stadion. However, the midfield ace has expressed uncertainty about putting pen to a new contract.
“I have talked about it with the president. I am grateful for the club, who provided me the opportunity, and I am greatly enjoying my time here. On the other hand, I also think that this is the good time to take the next step in my career”, Overtoom was
quoted as saying to the media.
The attacking midfielder then went on to reveal that he has his ambitions and would look to move away from Polmon Stadion the upcoming summer transfer window.
“I have my ambitions. There are two options. I sign a contract extension with a limited buy out clause or no transfer fee and try to materialise a summer transfer”, Overtoom added.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cameroon-c2865-born Dutch footballer expressed his love for the Dutch football in the end and revealed that he wants to be the part of the Oranje at some point of his career.
“I love both countries, but I would like to pursue my career with the Oranje. Although I watched Cameroon in the World Cup 2010, my feelings are now with the Netherlands”, Overtoom concluded.
Reports in Dutch media suggest that the Heracles management wants to bind the midfield ace for further two years. However, it would be hard for the Heraclieden to hold on to their prized asset should a good offer comes in.
