Feyenoord goalie Justin Bijlow is being watched by both Arsenal and Liverpool. Soccer News claims that both teams would want to sign the 26-year-old at season’s conclusion. This transfer tale gains an intriguing twist with the appointment of former Feyenoord manager Arne Slot to Liverpool.
Particularly given Caoimhin Kelleher may go at the conclusion of the current campaign, Liverpool needs a top backup goalie. Presumably costing around €13 million, Bijlow might be a useful acquisition to any team. Arsenal’s alleged many scouting trips of Bijlow this season point to a keen interest. Any team might then make a formal proposal as the following stage.
Although Bijlow is tempted to join two of the greatest teams in the world, he will have to weigh the possibility of not being the first choice goalie. Alisson Becker definitely occupies the position at Liverpool, while David Raya is now the favored candidate at Arsenal. Bijlow would have to decide whether or not he would be at ease playing backup, which may affect his option.
Summertime may see Arsenal lose Aaron Ramsdale. Ramsdale has played fewer games since Raya arrived, and he could want to go to a team where he can be the starting goalie. Arsenal’s interest in Bijlow is made much more relevant by this possible departure.
Arsenal And Liverpool Are Keeping An Eye On Feyenoord Goalkeeper
For any team, Bijlow may be a steal for €13 million. He would provide as a second choice quality and dependability. Not insignificant have been his Feyenoord performances, and a transfer to the Premier League would be a big step in his career.
Slot gives Liverpool an advantage in this transfer battle. Perhaps Bijlow would find it appealing to get back together with his old management. Knowing his skills well, Slot may argue persuasively to be included in Liverpool’s team.
Though it’s unclear where Bijlow will wind up, Liverpool and Arsenal have good reasons to be interested. The attraction of working with Slot once again and his readiness to take on a backup position will probably determine his choice. With both teams keen to improve their goalkeeping options, Bijlow’s status will become clearer as the season draws to an end.
