Telstar is on the verge of signing FC Twente midfielder Harrie Kuster definitively. The club from Velsen-Zuid is in advanced negotiations with both the Tukkers and the midfielder himself. Although a final agreement has not yet been reached, the signals are positive and confidence is growing that the transfer could be completed soon. League standing (final 2025 table -- new season not yet under way): 16th in Eredivisie, 27 pts, 6W-9D-15L from 30 games, recent form LLWLW.
What is known about the transfer?
Telstar has the best chances of signing Kuster. Various sources around FC Twente indicate that the talks are going positively between all parties. The Velsen-Zuid club wants to sign the midfielder permanently and is willing to pay a significant amount. Kuster's contract runs until the summer of 2027, but Telstar hopes to finalize the deal soon.
Why is Kuster an important addition?
The 20-year-old midfielder showed a lot of potential last season in the Keuken Kampioen Divisie. Kuster played on loan at RKC Waalwijk and made 38 appearances, scoring ten times and providing two assists. For Telstar, he would be an important addition to the midfield. The club sees him as a player who can immediately add value, but also has enough potential to develop further in the Eredivisie.
What are the next steps?
Telstar hopes to finalize the deal soon, so that competitors no longer have a chance to interfere. The club's management is optimistic about Kuster's arrival and sees him as a good addition to the team. Whether the transfer will actually be completed will become clear in the coming period. Telstar is, however, in pole position to secure the signature of Harrie Kuster.
