Favorite transfer # 7: Tyrell Malacia

OTHER Your number seven is again a young, lesser-known name. He is one of the two players from this list who plays in the Dutch first division.


Name: Tyrell Malacia
Current club: Feyenoord
Position: Left back
Age: 18
Nationality: Dutch
Market value*: € 2,000,000

History: Malacia has been playing for Feyenoord since he was nine, where he was promoted to the first team last summer. Since December, he regularly plays in the first team. He also was ninety minutes between the lines in the Champions League game against Napoli.

Profile: Malacia is a fast, hard-working left back who has the physical capacity to take care of the whole wing. However, his fit and crosses still need to be adjusted.

Feasibility: Malacia would have an affordable buy clause in its contract. However, it is questionable whether he wants to exchange his childhood love Feyenoord for a club in Belgium.

Priority? If Hein Vanhaezebrouck sticks to his system with three central defenders, there are not many players in the selection who can take care of the entire left flank. Elias Cobbaut is too defensive for that, the wingers too offensive.

Kenny Saief certainly looks like a certainty. Edo Kayembe could be the number two on the left wing after a strong preparation, although he can also play a central role.

Conclusion: Anderlecht do not seem willing to block Kayembe by getting an extra left leg in the house.

Next: A Belgian with a past at Lierse, Ghent and yet another Belgian club.
