‘Are you unlucky when you have become champion with Feyenoord, played in the Champions League, the quarterfinals of the Europa League and made it to the Dutch national team?’ Hartman told Voetbal Primeur when reflecting on what could have been.
Feyenoord and Netherlands defender Quilindschy Hartman says he could have joined Chelsea last summer had an injury not denied him of a dream transfer move to the Premier League.
Hartman, 23, broke into Feyenoord’s first-team in 2022 and played a key role in an eye-catching debut season in senior football to help his boyhood club win their first Eredivisie title in six years.
Hartman finally returned to first-team action earlier this month, coming on as a late substitute in Feyenoord’s 2-1 defeat away to league leaders Ajax.
During his time in recovery, it appears Hartman made sure to keep a close eye on the Premier League, taking a keen interest in Slot’s impressive start at Anfield.
