Since the arrival of Marc Overmars, Antwerp has focused more on young talent to make the club self-sustaining as quickly as possible. However, in order to continue to achieve success in the short term, an extra portion of experience appears to be no unnecessary luxury.
Therefore, the Great Old according to Gazette of Antwerp actually have an eye on the no less than 35-year-old Tjaronn Chery to strengthen the midfield. The five-time Surinamese international has been a loanee at NEC since New Year.
Great opportunity for Antwerp
Since then, he has scored five goals and two assists in 15 appearances at number six in the Eredivisie, and so NEC wants him, according to Algemeen Dagblad also permanently take over Maccabi Haifa. Chery will soon enter his last year of contract there.
However, he himself just announced that he will not return to Israel anyway, a message that did not fall on deaf ears at the Bosuil. In the meantime, discussions have even been held with the experienced left-footer, who wants to play football closer to home.
Chery charmed
A wish that Antwerp wants to grant, while Chery himself still believes GVA “of course open to Antwerp”. Although it remains to be seen whether Deurne-Noord will actually be his next destination, because NEC is also still conducting negotiations.
According to it A.D For the time being, it has not been possible to sign the former player of Twente, FC Groningen and QPR, who subsequently had a short adventure in China and Turkey. His market value is just under half a million.
Hand of Overmars?
Even without its suspended director of football affairs, Antwerp continues to explore the Dutch market. The attempt to recruit Chery also fits in with the creative way in which the outgoing national champion has to find quality with little money.
