Koen Kostons, a 25-year-old center forward who was born in Belgium and holds Dutch nationality, is making a move from SC Paderborn to PEC Zwolle, having signed a contract that extends until mid-2029. Previously, Kostons has played for MVV, Dalkurd FF, and most recently for KV Kortrijk on loan from Paderborn. During his time at MVV, he played in 157 matches, scoring 32 goals and providing 26 assists. Gerry Hamstra, the technical director, considers Kostons to be a valuable addition and a fitting successor to Dylan Vente, who has transferred to SC Heerenveen. Hamstra remarked that Koen is a footballing center forward who is incredibly goal-oriented. At 25, Kostons has already amassed substantial international experience but still has room for growth. Kostons expressed his enthusiasm about playing in the Eredivisie with PEC Zwolle, characterizing the club as a beautiful one known for its effective, attacking football. He mentioned his happiness in returning to the Netherlands with PEC Zwolle and making his debut in the Eredivisie, stating that the choice was straightforward for him because PEC is a club that has consistently demonstrated its ability to achieve results with well-organized, attacking football.
