The best European opponent the Czech teams faced last season, in terms of football and individual player quality, was Feyenoord Rotterdam. Slavia Prague failed to beat the Dutch side even once, but drew with them twice. Two Feyenoord players are now in great demand in the Premier League!

Probably we all remember that during the draw for the quarter-finals of the EKL no Slav player, including coach Trpišovský. did not wish to get Feyenoord. In the end, the draw was merciless and the Slavs had to measure their strength again with the team they met in the regular group.

The duel between the red and white teams, with a good fan base on both sides, was relatively peaceful for the Dutch team. The latter went on to beat Marseille to the final of the European Conference League.

There, however, Feyenoord came up against AS Rome with the experienced strategist Mourinho leading the Romans to a 1-0 victory. Despite the fact that Feyenoord did not enjoy the trophy, the individual qualities of some of Feyenoord’s players impressed Premier League scouts.

Incidentally, in the Dutch top flight, coach Arne Slote’s charges finished third behind Ajax and PSV Eindhoven.

And now to the main topic and that is possible departures that could bring tens of millions of euros to the club’s coffers.

Kökcü and Malacia to the Premier League?

The first star that is of interest in the British Isles is Orkun Kökcü. The offensive midfielder is hard-working but also technically equipped, he has great vision and can surprise opponents with excellent through passes.

In the quarter-final match in Eden, however, he made a small error on a home run, which Ibrahim Traoré pounced on to equalise at 1-1. In the end, the Slavs made more individual mistakes against Feyenoord, so this blunder certainly didn’t put the 21-year-old off.

West Ham United are interested in the Dutch-Turkish footballer and Arsenal are also showing a slight interest. Kökcü, at 21 years old, is a really complete creative midfielder who is picking up national team starts in Turkey. According to Transfermarkt, his market value is around €22 million.

There is also interest in the Premier League for the fast-footed left-back Tyrell Malacia! Manchester United are reportedly very close to completing the entire transfer. The information was brought by Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

according to Transfermarkt, the 22-year-old fast-footed footballer has a market value of €17 million. Last season he scored 1 goal and assisted 5 times from the left-back position.

Who knows how it would have been if Slavia had managed to get past Feyenoord, maybe there would have been much more interesting and higher offers for their players as well.
