Denzel Dumfries seems to be working on his last months with PSV. This season, the captain of the Eindhoven team did not hide the fact that he would like to make a transfer next summer. Rob Westerhof, former chairman of Sparta Rotterdam, thinks the right back is ready for a transfer.
Westerhof got to know Dumfries in 2014, when the defender made the switch from Barendrecht to Sparta. Three years later, the right back was sold for approximately 750,000 euros to sc Heerenveen. “With us, his passes were often misguided. He already had the speed and power to hit the flank, but the effectiveness was still too low at the time ”, 77-year-old Westerhof remembers in conversation with the Eindhovens Dagblad. “Sometimes his final pass didn’t even seem like anything. I think he has made enormous strides in this, although progress is still possible. ”
When asked by the newspaper whether Dumfries is ready to move to the Premier League, for example, Westerhof immediately has an answer: “I would find it perfectly logical. He is 25, A-international, has proven himself three years in the base at PSV and players then go to a higher level at a certain point. It will also be a great step financially for him and PSV ”, says Westerhof.
Dumfries will be stuck in the Philips Stadium until the summer of 2023. PSV paid 5.5 million euros for the Oranje-international in 2018, whose value continues Transfer market currently it is estimated at 18 million euros. Last year, he was explicitly linked with a move to Newcastle United, while also being linked to AC Milan. “At a certain point you feel from both sides that after this season it is a good time to take the next step,” Dumfries told the Netherlands earlier this year.
