As expected, Elan Zahawi successfully completed his medical examination and signed a 2-year contract with traditional giants Eindhoven. Although in the four years of playing in the Chinese Super League, the "Za Ball King" has broken countless records, but he still has a cautious attitude towards the upcoming Dutch First Division career: "I did a good job in China, but I want to prove myself in Europe, I aspire to play in the Netherlands, which is a huge challenge for me." ”
This season, Eindhoven has made adjustments to the attacking line: Dutch international Sam Ramos has moved to Atalanta at a high price, and Japanese supernova Ann Lu has joined the Bundesliga promotion Marbilefeld on loan. With two attackers released in succession, sporting director John De Jong consulted with manager Roger Schmidt to sign Elan Zahawi, who is already 33 years old.
In John De Jong's view, this is a very targeted addition to the team's lineup: "We have a lot of very good but also very young attacking players, we are about to have a busy season, interspersed with a lot of international competitions, we have to have a thick team to achieve our goals." 」 Elan Zahawi is a true goalscorer and his goal stats are very eye-catching. His arrival can inject experience into our young squad. ”
For Zahavi, this is also obviously an opportunity not to be missed: "Eindhoven is a traditional giant and for me it was a good opportunity for me to return to Europe again. Here I will fight for honor and offensive football. ”
