Mats Wieffer, who is currently playing as a right-back for Brighton & Hove Albion, has been suggested by Willem van Hanegem to be brought back to Feyenoord. Despite recently securing a starting position, Wieffer had previously spent time on the bench. Last summer, Brighton acquired him from Feyenoord for 32 million euros. Van Hanegem, a club icon, highlighted that Wieffer's return would be advantageous for Feyenoord, even though the club's midfield is crowded, because he has not been playing much in England and has experienced time on the bench, notwithstanding his recent starting role. Van Hanegem expressed these views during the Willem & Wessel podcast of the Algemeen Dagblad.
