Franky Van der Elst sees JPL player shine: “If Club Brugge wants to sign him, they will just pay the 11 million, right?” – Football news

Union SG breathes a sigh of relief. The people of Brussels know what winning is again after the 0-3 win over Antwerp. The club is now fully participating again.

Who made a huge impression was Cameron Puertas. Franky Van der Elst also saw that. “He was very strong, and he is the key figure at Union, right? Castro-Montes could also be mentioned – he is having a very good season – but yes, he is yellow suspended,” he begins at Het Nieuwsblad.

Puertas also scored a great free kick. “And that free kick from Puertas, sorry. Not many will do that in Belgium. He breaks open that match and suddenly it is the Union we know again. Difficult to maneuver, efficient… Just in time.”

The Union midfielder will also soon enter the final season of his contract. So there could be a nice transfer coming this summer. Is he strong enough to play in the English Premier League?

“Why not,” Van der Elst is clear. “He is strong, has a good physique, an excellent kick, his speed of action is fast enough… He can play there, yes. Or in Germany. But also at the Belgian top – although Union is that too, of course.”

“On Transfermarkt they estimate him at 11 million. If a team like Club Brugge really wants to, they will just pay it, right? Any Belgian top team would be better off with him there. He will be 26 in August, you can enjoy that for years to come.” he decides.
