Transfer Battle for Feyenoord Left-Back Quilindschy Hartman
Quilindschy Hartman, the promising left-back from Feyenoord, has expressed interest in a potential move to Arsenal, should the club intensify their pursuit. Despite currently recovering from a serious knee injury, Hartman has garnered attention from several Premier League clubs, including Chelsea.
At 22, Hartman is working towards a return to action in 2025, after a knee injury sidelined him and ruled him out of the European Championship. The young defender had shown significant promise, scoring on his Netherlands debut in a 2-1 defeat to France in October 2023. His injury has unfortunately postponed his aspirations to compete in the Euros.
Arsenal’s interest in Hartman comes as they consider long-term options for their left-back position. With players like Oleksandr Zinchenko, Jakub Kiwior, and Takehiro Tomiyasu currently covering the role, the Gunners are evaluating the need for a dedicated left-back. Hartman’s potential arrival would add depth and skill to their defensive lineup.
Chelsea, on the other hand, have been tracking Hartman for a while, despite having Marc Cucurella and Ben Chilwell in their squad. The Blues are looking to bolster their defense and see Hartman as a valuable addition, though his injury might delay any immediate transfer plans.
As Hartman works towards his recovery, his ability to return to the form that contributed to Feyenoord’s Eredivisie title win under Arne Slot will be crucial. Premier League clubs will be watching closely, and if Hartman can replicate his past performances, his move to a top-tier team like Arsenal or Chelsea could be on the horizon.
