According to VoetbalPrimeur, Steijn hopes to get more playing time at Feyenoord. He recently played a quarter of the match in the Champions League duel against FC Barcelona. Steijn's situation is not helped by the fact that Ayase Ueda was sold this transfer period, leaving Giovanni van Bronckhorst with Nacho Ferri and Shaqueel van Persie as options in the striker position. Steijn is willing to play in the striker position, as he has done before, and is quoted as saying, "I'm a natural number nine, but I've played in the striker position before, so I can handle it."
Steijn's frustration with his lack of playing time is evident, as he has to work hard to get his minutes. He was on the bench for the entire match against NEC last weekend, and is quoted as saying, "I want to play more, the trainer knows that too. But I'm also happy to be here and play for this great club. I have to fight hard to get my minutes."
Steijn will have the opportunity to get more playing time when Feyenoord faces PEC Zwolle next weekend.
