Go Ahead Eagles is standing firm in the transfer battle for Calvin Twigt. Willem II has made an improved offer for the 22-year-old midfielder, but the club from Deventer is not planning to cooperate with a transfer.

What happened?

Twigt moved to Willem II on loan during the winter break of last season and made a strong impression in Tilburg. After the promotion, the controller returned to Go Ahead, where his contract still has two years to run.

Why is this important for Go Ahead Eagles?

Freek Heerkens, the technical director of Willem II, was told that Twigt is not allowed to leave. Earlier, FC Groningen had tried to persuade Joris Kramer to make a transfer, but they also got nothing.

What's next?

Go Ahead Eagles is currently 12th in the Eredivisie with 38 points, 8 wins, 14 draws and 12 losses from 34 games, and a recent form of LLDDD. The club has scored 54 goals and conceded 53 goals, with a goal difference of +1.

How about the title race?

Go Ahead Eagles is 46 points behind leader PSV Eindhoven. The club must focus on the upcoming games to improve their position in the Eredivisie. Twigt has not played any minutes for Go Ahead during this preparation. The Amsterdammer is struggling with the aftermath of an injury he sustained during Willem II's play-off match against Almere City.
