AZ is one of several top-half Eredivisie clubs interested in Cedric Hatenboer, and it is reported that Sparta Rotterdam, FC Twente, FC Utrecht, Heerenveen, and PSV are also monitoring the player. Hatenboer, who joined Anderlecht for over 2 million euros but never played for the first team, is currently on loan at Telstar, where he has impressed since January. Telstar is in control of the situation, as they have an option to purchase the midfielder for approximately 2 million euros. FC Utrecht may have an advantage, as their incoming manager is Anthony Correia, Hatenboer's current coach at Telstar.
