Fortuna Sittard are searching for new forwards for the upcoming Eredivisie season because of the expected departures of Paul Gladon and Kaj Sierhuis. According to De Limburger, the club is interested in signing 21-year-old Dutch striker Lequincio Zeefuik, a move that is considered more realistic than another of their targets. Zeefuik has personally indicated that he wants to make a move this summer.

His contract with AZ Alkmaar runs until 2029. Across his time with two clubs in the 2025/2026 season, Zeefuik made 23 Eredivisie appearances, scoring two goals and providing one assist.
