FC Twente’s Interest in Younes Namli: A Missed Opportunity

omidbasir- FC Twente came close to securing Younes Namli in the past year. In January, the talented playmaker returned to PEC Zwolle, where he has made an impressive start to his third stint with the club.

Analyst Arnold Bruggink confirmed that he contemplated bringing Namli to Enschede while serving as the technical director. “We discussed him extensively. However, I felt he played similarly to Daan Rots, and his speed was not particularly remarkable. He primarily operates in the central areas of the field. What I found particularly appealing about Namli is his exceptional character; he was a leader alongside Bram van Polen.”
