Saints In Talks For FC Twente Defender
Saints already seem to be planning for the future if the Toby Alderweireld turns sour with rumours they are chasing a player from FC Twente.
Saints are reported to be in talks to sign FC Twente player Cuco Martina, the 25 year old although born in Rotterdam is a Curacao International and is a natural right back although in true Koeman style he is also able to play just as well in the centre of defence or in a holding midfield role.
he has been a regular at Twente since joing them in the summer of 2013 and has gained a good reputation in the Eridivisie, he was previously with RKC Waalwijk, where he played under Erwin Koeman, brother to Ronald and assistant coach at St Mary’s.
The Dutch media is reporting that the player is in advance talks with Saints and that although Twente do not want to lose him they would find it hard to stand in his way should the right offer come in.
