Danilho Doekhi will probably leave Vitesse after this season, although his next club is still unknown. The 22-year-old defender is in the interest of Rangers FC, Newcastle United and Norwich City, according to various Dutch and English media. In the corridors a transfer fee of two million euros is mentioned to loosen Doekhi in Arnhem. Noel Whelan, former attacker of Aberdeen, Coventry City and Leeds United, among others, thinks Rangers has the best cards to recruit the Dutchman. He calls Doekhi ‘a bargain’.
Doekhi is facing his last contract year with Vitesse. The club will have to sell him next summer to prevent him from walking out the door in a transfer-free year. Interest in the Dutch youth international has increased in recent weeks. The Sun writes about a possible bidding war between English clubs to incorporate the former Ajax youth player.
“If we talk about a Dutch youth international for less than ten million pounds, then that is a bargain,” Whelan responds when asked. Football Insider. According to the English website, Doekhi must cost two million euros. Whelan, currently working for the BBC as a co-commentator on Leeds United matches, thinks this is a great prize. “With the current trans market, an amount of less than two million pounds is a bargain for a player with a lot of talent.”
“If he’s a player that Rangers is really interested in, they’ll put that amount on the table with a smile,” said Whelan. “You don’t run much risk for such an amount. If in the end it doesn’t go as hoped, you can sell it again for a similar amount. It’s a different story when it comes to £ 15 million. Attracting him (Doekhi, ed.) Does not involve much risk. ”
