Excelsior expects transfer of Thijs Dallinga, the striker who scored 25 goals in 20 games.

What happened?

Marinus Dijkhuizen, coach of Excelsior, has good hope that Dallinga will finish the season in Rotterdam.

Dallinga came over from FC Groningen last summer and has been a success for Excelsior. The striker scored 25 goals in 20 games in the Keuken Kampioen Divisie.

Why it matters for Excelsior

As a result, Excelsior is second, with three points behind leader FC Volendam. Dallinga's contract runs until mid-2023, but Dijkhuizen knows the striker will not fulfill this commitment.

What comes next?

Dijkhuizen is curious where Dallinga will end up. The next step should not be too big, he must play, advises the coach to his pupil. | Stat | Value | | --- | --- | | League standing | 15th in Eredivisie, 28 pts, 7W-7D-16L from 30 games | | Last result | Sparta Rotterdam 2-3 Excelsior (2026-05-17) | The club does not intend to let him go now. He has only played twenty games, hey. The best would be if he signs somewhere in the winter break and finishes the season here. Then he has the rest and that's good for us.
