Newcastle United are interested in acquiring the services of 25-year-old PSV Eindhoven midfielder Joey Veerman.
According to inews via GiveMeSport, Newcastle United are looking to bolster their squad ahead of next season, and they have their eyes set on Joey Veerman. The 25-year-old midfielder has been doing wonders for PSV Eindhoven, and his performances have attracted a lot of interest from across Europe.
Joey Veerman’s time at PSV Eindhoven
Veerman joined PSV in the winter of 2022 from Heerenveen, and he has not looked back since. The Dutch international has gone from strength to strength over the past few seasons, and he has managed to establish himself as one of the mainstays at the club.
In the ongoing season, the central midfielder has featured in a total of 36 matches and he has contributed towards 20 goals (six goals and 14 assists). He is a creative No.6 who is capable enough to score, create as well as defend when needed.
Veerman’s abilities on the ball and his performances in the recent past have put him on the radar of Newcastle United. The Magpies have not been able to reach the heights they did last time out when they finished fourth in the league and qualified for the UEFA Champions League.
Newcastle United have suffered from injuries, and Eddie Howe has not really had a full-strength squad for the majority of the season. On the back of their struggles, Newcastle are now planning to reinforce their squad and add more quality to ensure they can compete with the best clubs in the English top flight.
Newcastle keen on signing Joey Veerman
Newcastle United have identified him as a top target, and they are willing to prise him away from PSV Eindhoven. The 25-year-old is considered to be an ideal replacement for Bruno Guimaraes, who has been linked with a move away from the club.
While the Brazilian international loves playing for the Magpies, there is a lot of interest in his services, and his £100 million release clause means top European clubs could sign him despite Newcastle United’s intention of having him in their ranks for years to come.
Reports suggest that the Magpies have been scouting Veerman ahead of the summer transfer window. They are very impressed with what they have seen and could end up pushing for his services ahead of next season.
