Feyenoord have secured the future of midfielder Gjivai Zechiël, agreeing to extend his contract until 2028. ESPN reported this development in early September, following Lille OSC's bid for the 22-year-old. Zechiël himself described Lille OSC's bid as "best serieus", suggesting it was a serious offer. However, he is now happy to be playing for Feyenoord, where he feels he has found his place and is thriving under the club's coaching staff and playing style. Zechiël has been instrumental in Feyenoord's start to the new season, scoring four goals and providing three assists in six official matches.
