“After the arrival of Fábio Silva, it is important for Vertessen that he starts making minutes somewhere. That has been discussed with the player,” said trainer Ruud van Nistelrooij.
In addition to 20-year-old striker Silva, PSV hopes to strengthen the attack with at least one more player, preferably an winger. “I can’t start talking about names,” said Van Nistelrooij. “We are working on it, also because it is badly needed. It will be short notice, because it is almost February 1. But I want at least one more.”
A departure of midfielder Joey Veerman, who recently lost his starting place, does not seem to be an option. Van Nistelrooij did not want to comment on the situation of the Volendammer on Friday. “I don’t think it’s necessary to talk about individual players. It’s important that at the moment the focus is on Saturday’s game against Go Ahead, how we come out there.”
