PSV want another NEC standout after Kodai Sano: talks opened

PSV are in talks with NEC over Sami Ouaissa, Voetbalzone understand. The winger is open to a move to the reigning champions, although his club are driving a hard bargain.

Voetbal International report that Ouaissa had already reached a personal agreement with Feyenoord earlier in this transfer window, but the Rotterdam club must first sell Anis Hadj Moussa before they can do business.

LOSC Lille also made an approach recently for the former Roda JC player, but Ouaissa would prefer to stay in the Netherlands. PSV now want to hijack the deal.

In Eindhoven, the club are now negotiating with NEC over the 21-year-old attacker. Earlier this summer, Kodai Sano had already made the move from NEC to PSV.

On the Nijmegen side, that transfer caused plenty of irritation. The club had agreed with Sano that he would still play in the two-legged tie against Olympiakos, but the Japanese player suddenly no longer wanted to play in Athens.

NEC hold PSV responsible for that, so talks are proving difficult for now. Whether Ouaissa's transfer will go through in the short term therefore remains to be seen.
