Heerenveen shows interest in Cedric Hatenboer SC Heerenveen has shown interest in the 21-year-old midfielder Cedric Hatenboer from Belgian club Anderlecht. This news comes from the ‘Algemeen Dagblad’. Hatenboer impressed last season while on loan at Telstar.

What does this mean for Heerenveen? Heerenveen’s midfield has a gap to fill after the departure of Joris van Overeem to FC Utrecht. With the arrival of Dirk Proper (NEC) and now the interest in Hatenboer, the club seems serious about strengthening the line. Heerenveen finished last season in 8th place in the Eredivisie with 44 points (12W-8D-10L) and a goal difference of +3.

What is Hatenboer’s background? Hatenboer previously played for Excelsior and impressed last season at Telstar in Velsen-Zuid. He returned to Anderlecht this summer, where he is contracted until mid-2029. Recently, he suffered a broken nose, but that doesn’t seem to deter Heerenveen.

What’s next? It is still unclear whether Heerenveen is aiming for a permanent or loan deal. Technical manager Johan Hansma has already confirmed that the club is interested in Hatenboer. Heerenveen’s next match is at home against Ajax on January 31, 2027.
