Ruud Gullit, the Dutch legend and pundit, heaped praise on Algeria international Anis Hadj Moussa on Ziggo Sport: keeping the Feyenoord winger is, in his view, the best piece of business of the summer transfer window.
Anis Hadj Moussa has a heavyweight admirer. Ruud Gullit, a legend of Dutch football and a pundit, has publicly expressed his admiration for the Algeria international at Feyenoord Rotterdam. The praise came on the airwaves of sports television channel Ziggo Sport and was reported by Foot Afrique.
The Feyenoord and Algeria right winger is described there as a player capable of turning matches, and whose consistency in the Rotterdam club’s shirt has struck the former Ballon d’Or winner. He was lavish in his praise, going so far as to call keeping the winger in the squad the Dutch club’s best piece of business of the summer window.
“A player who makes the difference”
Gullit said he expected to see the right winger shine at this level in the Eredivisie. “I expected to see him shine. He really is a player who makes the difference,” the pundit told Ziggo Sport, according to Foot Afrique. A verdict that underlines the Algeria international’s consistency and his ability to influence the course of matches in the Feyenoord shirt.
The former AC Milan player also welcomed the joy felt by the Rotterdam club’s members and supporters at the idea of having kept the Algeria international. “Everyone at the club is very happy that he stayed,” he added on the Dutch sports channel.
Gullit further stressed the pleasure he took in watching Hadj Moussa play on the pitch at De Kuip, the Rotterdam club’s stadium.
The best piece of business of the summer window
For Ruud Gullit, Feyenoord’s best move of the summer was keeping Hadj Moussa in the squad. The pundit backed up that judgement by insisting on the joy the decision has brought to the Rotterdam club’s members and supporters alike.
The player himself has just come through a spectacular and precious match, in a duel won by Feyenoord, according to La Gazette du Fennec.
One more step still to take
Now 24 years old, the winger has become one of the key figures in Feyenoord’s attacking play, in the Eredivisie and in European competition alike, according to Foot Afrique. A central place in the Dutch club’s attack.
But Gullit’s admiration is not limited to the present. In his view, the Algeria international has significant room for improvement to take an even higher step in his career.
Feyenoord continue their Eredivisie season and their European campaign at De Kuip, with Hadj Moussa in the squad.
