Torino FC has reportedly set its sights on Belgian football talent, Jurgen Ekkelenkamp, in a move to strengthen its midfield during the upcoming January transfer window. This development comes in light of continued concerns over Nikola Vlasic’s performance.
The daily Italian newspaper, Tuttosport, reports that Torino’s manager, Ivan Juric, sees Ekkelenkamp as a potential solution to bolster the team’s midfield. The Dutch attacking midfielder, who currently plays for Royal Antwerp FC, developed his skills at Ajax’s youth academy, alongside Perr Schuurs.
The connection between Schuurs and Ekkelenkamp might indeed play a significant role in the negotiations as the pursuit intensifies ahead of the winter transfer period. However, neither the club nor the players involved have officially commented on this report. Details about the proposed deal remain speculative at this stage.
