Voetbalpraat analysts praised Feyenoord midfielder Charles Vanhoutte, with Sjoerd Mossou saying Ajax could have signed him as a number 6. The 28-year-old signed a three-year deal in the summer and has become a regular in Giovanni van Bronckhorst's team.
Perez gives his verdict
After watching Sunday's big match against PSV, Kenneth Perez said: "Vanhoutte is the glue. That is what people want."
Vanhoutte started against PSV on Sunday, and Van Bronckhorst usually picks Oussama Targhalline and Gjivai Zechiël alongside him in midfield.
Krabbendam on his midfield role
Club correspondent Martijn Krabbendam said: "A few times, when he was taken off, you could see that Feyenoord completely lost control."
Jakub Moder, match-fit again after a lingering injury, replaced Vanhoutte shortly before the end against PSV.
Krabbendam said: "He's a cheap Hendo, but a good one. Feyenoord paid only €5.5 million for him."
Mossou mentions Ajax
Mossou said: "It's quite strange, really, that Ajax have spent four and a half years looking for a number 6. He would have been a good player for Ajax too, wouldn't he?"
Vanhoutte has made 10 appearances in the Vriendenloterij Eredivisie and three in the Champions League. Feyenoord lead the Eredivisie, and Vanhoutte is a guaranteed starter in midfield.
