Technical Manager Peter Hofstede says that Mertens has an offer from Telstar. The ball is currently at the born Amsterdammer. The 30-year-old football player is on a trial at Telstar from the first training. “There is interest from abroad and I will put everything next to each other. Then I make a decision,” he told NH Sport a few weeks ago.

His last club was Fakel Voronezj in Russia. Mertens made his debut in professional football for FC Volendam in 2015. Then he played for Telstar, FK Tsarsko Selo Sofia and Botev Plovdiv, among others.
