Crystal Palace Eyeing Indonesian Defender Mees Hilgers
There is a buzz in football circles about Premier League club Crystal Palace showing interest in Mees Hilgers, a defender from FC Twente who has Indonesian roots. The speculation began when a fan account related to FC Twente suggested that Hilgers might be seeking a new challenge and aiming to advance his career. This news caught the attention of supporters and media alike, sparking curiosity about the potential move.
Hilgers was notably absent from FC Twente’s starting lineup and even the matchday squad during their opening Eredivisie game against PEC Zwolle. His absence has intensified rumors regarding his future at the club. Despite Hilgers expressing a willingness to take the next step in his career, actual concrete offers during the summer transfer window remain limited. This is partly due to his inconsistent performances last season and a relatively high market value, which complicates potential transfers.
Dutch and English journalists have reported that Crystal Palace is among the clubs interested in Hilgers, although these reports are still unconfirmed and remain in the realm of speculation. Crystal Palace is known to be actively searching for new defenders as they prepare for the challenges ahead in the Premier League, making this rumor plausible but yet to be verified.
Mees Hilgers, a product of FC Twente’s academy, made his senior debut in 2020 and has since appeared in over 130 matches for the club. With a market value estimated around 6.5 million euros (approximately 122 billion rupiahs), the upcoming transfer deadline on September 1 will be crucial in determining whether this Indonesian defender will make the leap to the English top flight or continue his career in the Netherlands.
