PSV Eindhoven is in negotiations with FC Twente to sign striker Sam Lammers. A deal is not yet agreed, as demands from both the selling club and the player himself are proving to be a significant obstacle.
According to Rik Elfrink of the Eindhovens Dagblad, work is ongoing to reach an agreement. The talks concerning Lammers are separate from the transfer of Jordy Bawuah, who is moving from Jong PSV to FC Twente. Marco Timmer, a club watcher for Voetbal International, reports that Lammers is not the only striker PSV wants to bring in this summer. The club is also said to be interested in Sami Ouaissa from NEC.
What is blocking the Lammers transfer?
The negotiations between PSV and FC Twente for Sam Lammers are proving difficult. The core issue is that the demands from FC Twente and the personal terms requested by Lammers have not yet aligned with what PSV can or is willing to offer. This is the central stumbling block, as Timmer noted on X. Both parties remain in talks, indicating hope for a positive resolution. PSV has already seen the player left out of FC Twente's matchday squad, a sign that a move could be close.
What other attacking reinforcements is PSV targeting?
Alongside the pursuit of Sam Lammers, PSV Eindhoven is active in the market for multiple forwards. Marco Timmer specifically named Sami Ouaissa of NEC as another target. This shows that the club's management, led by technical director Earnest Stewart, aims to strengthen the attack for the new season. The current squad, visible on our squad page, features players like Johan Bakayoko and Ismael Saibari, but adding depth up front is a priority.
The interest in multiple strikers fits the ambition to compete on all fronts. PSV currently sits second in the standings and has crucial Eredivisie and European matches in the coming weeks. A fit and deep forward line is essential for that challenge.
How would Lammers fit into the current PSV setup?
Sam Lammers is a 29-year-old striker familiar with the Eredivisie. He would add a different profile to coach Peter Bosz's squad. Lammers is physically strong and a proficient finisher inside the box. His arrival could create competition for the current forwards and give the manager more options in build-up and finishing.
PSV's attacking statistics are already impressive this season, but added quality could make the difference in the title race and in Europe. The club has scored the most goals in the league so far, a trend they are eager to continue. Lammers's exact role would depend on his form and the tactical choices of Bosz, who often alternates between a single striker and an attack with wingers.
What are the next steps in the negotiations?
The coming days are decisive for the future of Sam Lammers. PSV and FC Twente must move closer together on a transfer fee and the structure of the payment. Agreement must also be reached on the player's personal contract. If these hurdles are cleared, a medical examination could be scheduled quickly.
Completing this deal would be an important move in the transfer window for PSV. It would bolster the squad in a position where quality is always needed.
