Manager Arne Slot led Feyenoord until last season and has been testing his strength at Liverpool this season. He has brought more stability to the team he took over from the German mastermind, who has continued his good form since the start of the Premier League season and is unbeaten in the Champions League.
At the former Dutch club, Mexican international Santiago Gimenez has scored numerous goals as a centre-forward.
As for last season, he was the team’s ace, scoring 26 goals in 41 games. Although he has not been able to play at full strength this season due to injury, he has continued to develop as an attacker, scoring double-digit goals in 14 games and scoring a hat-trick in the last two seasons.
The Mexican forward was also rumoured to have attracted interest from Liverpool during last summer’s transfer window, but he mentioned the possibility of a reunion with manager Slot and talked about his dream of playing in the top leagues in Spain, England and Italy.
“Yes, absolutely,”
“Football is always about meeting the same familiar faces again and that is the beauty of this world.”
“You leave an impression, make friends all over the world, and later you see each other again, greet each other and meet again.”
“Since I was a kid, I always wanted to play in one of the top five leagues in the world and one of those leagues is Spain, England or Italy.”
