Fortuna Sittard appears to have lost the battle to sign Jesper Uneken. The Limburgers had wanted to take the 21-year-old striker from PSV, but according to Thomas Dal, reporter for De Limburger, the talks have broken down.

What happened?

Jesper Uneken was loaned out by PSV to RKC Waalwijk last season. He scored 14 goals in the Keuken Kampioen Divisie.

Why did the transfer not go through?

It is unclear why the transfer did not go through. Possibly PSV wants to wait and see which strikers can stay next season. Among others, Ricardo Pepi and Alessane Pléa are still question marks.

What are the consequences for Fortuna Sittard?

Fortuna Sittard is currently in 11th place in the Eredivisie with 39 points from 34 matches. The recent form is LWLLD.
