Feyenoord breaks with tradition: Spanish players arrive at De Kuip

Feyenoord has made a notable change with the arrival of Mika Mármol and Nacho Ferri. The Rotterdam team has secured both Spanish players, resulting in the club attracting as many Spanish players in one transfer period as in the previous 117 years of club history.

What happened?

The first Spanish player to wear the Feyenoord shirt was right-back Dani Fernández. The defender came from Arsenal Kyiv in 2009 but never really broke through.

Why is this important for Feyenoord?

Feyenoord currently stands 2nd in the Eredivisie with 65 points, 19W-8D-7L from 34 games, recent form WDWWD. The arrival of Mármol and Ferri can have a positive impact on the club's performance.

Who are the Spanish players?

Mika Mármol is added to the list of Spanish defenders. The 24-year-old left-footed defender comes from UD Las Palmas and signed a contract until mid-2030. Nacho Ferri is the first Spanish striker to ever be under contract with Feyenoord.

Feyenoord recently won against PEC Zwolle with 0-2. The club is on a 2-game winning run and has a recent form of 3W-2D-0L (WWDDW, most recent first).
