Willem II hopes to strengthen their squad with Vito van Crooij. It is reported that the thirty-year-old Dutch attacker wants to leave for Tilburg. In Tilburg, Van Crooij is seen as a reinforcement for all positions around striker Devin Haen. Willem II has been searching for attacking reinforcements for some time. An agreement between Van Crooij's representatives and Willem II still needs to be reached, as well as a deal between Willem II and NEC, the current employer of Van Crooij. Van Crooij had a strong first season in Nijmegen, but since the arrival of Dick Schreuder, he has increasingly lost his place in the team. He has not played any official minutes for NEC in the new season and was not included in the match selection for the first two Eredivisie games. The transfer must be completed before Wednesday night, when the Dutch market closes. The player, who has one cap for the Netherlands U21 team, has a contract with NEC until June 30, 2027, and his current market value is €900k, according to Transfermarkt.
