Feyenoord looking to lure rival teen sensation to Rotterdam | OneFootball

According to Ajax Showtime (via VoetbalPrimeur), Feyenoord are trying to tempt Ajax talent Jeshurun ​​Simeon away from Amsterdam. Such is the youngster’s talent, the 15-year-old Simeon could reportedly join the U21s at Feyenoord.

Feyenoord’s interest in Simeon is not new. The club know that the top talent has still not signed a professional contract with Ajax and wants to take advantage of that. “Last year, the attacker decided to stay. Whether that is the outcome now, is a big question mark at the moment.”

Simeon was promoted from the U16s to the U17s at Ajax last year. There, he eventually ended up in the place of Jivayno Zinhagel (16), who had already left for Feyenoord. The goal-oriented Simeon is said to be allowed to join the U19s of Ajax next season.

“Feyenoord wants to put a stop to that. Zinhagel now plays for the U21s at the Rotterdam club. Simeon can reportedly also join that team, two classes above his own.”

Simeon can play as a striker and right winger and is considered one of the greatest talents from Ajax’s youth academy. This has not gone unnoticed by clubs abroad, as Fabrizio Romano reported earlier. ‘Several European top clubs’ are said to be keeping an eye on the youth international’s situation.
