Feyenoord have warned the likes of Chelsea and Marseille that Anis Hadj Moussa is not for sale this January, amid speculation that a late move could be made for the talented attacker before the close of the transfer window.
The 23-year-old was selected by Algeria on the back of an outstanding start to the club season with Feyenoord, in which he notched seven goals and three assists in his opening 23 appearances.
Moussa then caught the eye with a string of impressive cameo performances at this year’s Africa Cup of Nations before Algeria were eliminated from the competition at the hands of Nigeria, but there has been speculation that he is a player that CHELSEA could make a move for this month.
However, speaking at a reception with Feyenoord supporters this week, the club’s general manager, Dennis te Kloese was keen to reassure fans that their ‘special’ forward would not be on the move.
‘He’s a special player who stands out. It would be strange if major European clubs didn’t know about Hadj-Moussa,’ Te Kloese said.
‘We didn’t extend his contract for nothing, because the best transfers often come from contract extensions.
‘There is always concrete interest in Hadj-Moussa every day but at this stage of the season, we will absolutely not let him go. We won’t do that. That has been discussed with Anis and also with his agent. I personally would find it very unwise,’ he added.
‘He has a World Cup coming up, he’s making good progress with his national team and is beloved by his manager, team-mates, and supporters.
‘It would be unwise to leave now and try your luck in a bigger competition, risking your World Cup place. I don’t think he’ll do that.’
IcFootballnews Says…
It seems that CHELSEA will not make too many signings this transfer window, they are not looking to improve the squad too much, so a move for Moussa will not happen this month.
The summer could see moves happen, but we dont believe that Moussa is a player that will really improve Chelsea, that will make a difference and he would just be a bench warmer until he is sold on.
