Dirk Kuyt wants the league title with Feyenoord

Dirk Kuyt does not want to stop playing football anytime soon as the 35 year old Dutch winger stated that he wants to continue for a long time which very impressive for a player of his age who still manages to gets consistent playing time but has not shown any signs of slowing down.

The veteran player joined Feyenoord on a year-long contract as he will be remaining with the Dutch coach throughout the 2015-16 season but even when his time with the club arrives, Kuyt wants to continue playing on, whether this may be with a contract renewal or by joining another club.

“We will discuss a potential renewal at the end of the season. I want to focus on playing football for now. I am feeling well and want to keep playing for a long time. A contract renewal could be an option if Feyenoord are on the same page as me. But I am in no rush to resolve my future’’

“My main goal is to win a trophy with Feyenoord. I was voted Player of the Season, won the top scorer award and won the Golden Shoe during my first spell with Feyenoord, but I did not win the league title for example. That is my biggest objective this season.” Feyenoord’s Dirk Kuyt said as he voiced what he is planning and hoping to accomplish with his team. (more…)

Dirk Kuyt arrived to Fenerbahce on June of 2012

The Dutch winger Dirk Kuyt arrived to Fenerbahce on June of 2012 as he signed a 3 year long contract and his time with the club of Turkey is reaching it’s last few months and now the future of Kuyt is starting to appear undecided as the player still has not decided on what he wants to do.

Dirk Kuyt has already announced to the public that he does not want to extend his current contract with Fenerbahce and this means that when the current season ends, he will turn into a free agent.

Southampton, Ronald Koeman has displayed his interest in signing Dirk Kuyt when the summer transfer window arrives and he becomes a free agent. Kuyt is well aware of how it is to perform in the Premier League as the Dutch winger used to wear the Liverpool jersey for over 5 years.

When the 34 year old player was asked during an interview about his near future, Kuyt replied by saying that he simply does not know as he has not discussed it with his agent as he said: ‘’I have not have time to discuss that with my agent.As soon as I do, I will let you know more news.” (more…)

Koeman eager to work with Dirk Kuyt

The manager of Southampton FC, Ronald Koeman, is believed to be eager to work with his countryman Dirk Kuyt. He would probably bid for the veteran player during the mid-season transfer window.

Koeman had actually tried to unite with Kuyt a couple of years back as well when he was the Feyenoord boss, but, he had failed at that time.

Kuyt is playing in Turkey at present for Fenerbahce and he is enjoying his football there.

Yesterday, the 34-year old expressed his happiness on twitter after his team got to the first position in the Turkish League table by overtaking Galatasaray.

But, there have been no signs yet that the Dutchman is going to prolong his stay at Fenerbahce once he is done with his contract at the end of this season.

The reports say that he is pretty open about getting back to UK again if a good opportunity pops up.

As far as Southampton is concerned, they need an understudy for their first choice forward Graziano Pelle. They have Shane Long in the squad, but, he has misfired a little bit in the recent past.

Also, there is no chance of Jay Rodriguez retuning from injury for the next couple of months.

So, the saints are looking to land an attacker immediately and Koeman reckons Kuyt is the ideal man simply because he has played in England before.

Kuyt had a fairly successful career at Anfield from 2006 to 2012 in which he played close to 300 games and fired in 71 goals.

Southampton is holding the second position in the Premier League points table right now. They are 4 points ahead of the last season’s champion Manchester City. They have played 11 matches, have won 7, have been defeated twice, while, one of the games has been a draw.
