With Ricardo Pepi and Pléa, PSV now has two strikers for the coming season. This makes a new contract for De Jong not complete, but it has become unlikely.
,, I don’t know if there is still room for Luuk. That is more for the club, “said trainer Peter Bosz at the training camp in Marienfeld.” I said that at the start of the season I wanted to have two strikers anyway. We waited a long time for Luuk and have not been busy with other strikers for a long time, but there was a moment that we had to go through. We now have a great time I have had him with the preparation, I would have preferred him with him. Working together.
Who will be the leader at PSV?
,, If Luuk is not there, we will get another captain. But if Luuk stays, he is my leader. ”
PSV records Alassane Pléa for two years, Spits connects directly to training camp
Pléa, the sixth newcomer at PSV this summer, is a completely different type of striker than De Jong. ,, We have not consciously been looking for a type-luuk de Jong, because that is not there. Luuk is unique. You have to look for quality. It is up to me to fit that quality into the team. Pléa has changed itself in recent years. He left a little more from the striker and started playing a little more around a striker or even playing as an attacking midfielder. ”
Acquire Kiliann Sildillia (23) directly with PSV on the training field in Marienfeld
Bosz welcomed reinforcement number five Sildillia on Wednesday on the training field. ,, I met him at breakfast. Earlier we had spoken to each other via Facetime. On the field I welcomed him for the group briefly, “said Bosz, who is happy with the defensive reinforcement.” He is originally a central defender, but has been playing on that right for a long time. In our selection we need at least three good players for the right and left back position. Why three because we are very good at the left. I can see more as a type of right back like Jordan Teze, so that we can also play the left back and play with three defenders in the back. ”

PSV presents defender Kiliann Sildillia (23): ‘He is fast, athletic, physically strong and a good header’
Bosz wants replacement for Bakayoko
Pléa is the sixth reinforcement of this transfer summer. Bosz is satisfied with so many newcomers so early in preparation. There are still a few positions to be filled.
,, The question is whether we want to replace Malik one on one. We will look at that in the coming weeks. Some young boys present themselves and just do well. This is the first year that I am very satisfied with the young boys who are there. Some of them were already there last year. They are going through enormous development in a year. Fabian (Mérien, ed.) Was already there last year, but was only 15 at the time. It is now 16. Noah Fernandez was really such a playful player, who is doing much better now. Eus Waayers is new. But I think we should also look at those guys. These kinds of boys must also have perspective. But they must be able to handle that and earn. I didn’t see that last year and now I did. “
Transition Johan Bakayoko to RB Leipzig around, attacker says goodbye to PSV in Video
Bosz wants a replacement for Bakayoko anyway. The attacker completed his transfer to RB Leipzig on Wednesday. ,, We are working on that. But it must have quality. I don’t think we just have to get someone there. For the positions on the wings we want four players because it is such an intensive position. ”
