De Graafschap will loan right back Nolan Martens from Excelsior for half a year, according to Voetbalprimeur.nl.

Right-back Nolan Martens, 21, is expected to leave Excelsior temporarily for a half-year loan at De Graafschap, a move intended to help cover for the recent departures of Bouke Boersma and Othniël Raterink. De Graafschap was close to completing the loan deal for the Belgian defender. Martens joined Excelsior from KRC Genk last summer and has mostly played a secondary role, despite a recent start against FC Twente. His contract at Excelsior is valid until June 30, 2027. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €400k. Martens has earned 2 caps for the Belgium U21 national team. In the current Eredivisie season, he has made 9 appearances and provided 1 assist.
