Heracles Almelo’s Brian De Keersmaecker is on Blackburn Rovers and Oxford United’s transfer agenda for this summer, according to multiple reports.
Het Nieuwsblad journalist David Van den Broeck took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to report about the Championship duo.
He explains the 25-year-old has ‘received concrete interest’ from Blackburn Rovers and Oxford United.
The English clubs’ firm desire to sign the defensive midfielder is also reported in the Dutch press.
De Telegraaf state both Blackburn Rovers and Oxford United want to secure the Belgian’s services.
They add Valérien Ismaël’s side and their Championship counterpart have shown concrete interest and have approached the Dutch club for the player.
De Keersmaecker left Belgium when PSV Eindhoven signed him from K Beerschot VA initially on loan in 2020. They made his stay permanent a year later and then sold him to Heracles Almelo in 2023.
He impressed in his debut season, and it saw Heracles Almelo to offer him a new contract [until 2028] in August of last year.
De Telegraaf state ‘a transfer this summer seems negotiable’, after Heracles Almelo rejected FC Midtjylland’s approach in January.
This should please Blackburn Rovers and Oxford United, who are expected to tussle for his signing this summer.
