Aymen Sliti aims for Feyenoord starting role after Excelsior loan

Aymen Sliti, a twenty-year-old winger currently on loan from Feyenoord to Excelsior, has expressed his ambition to return to Feyenoord's starting lineup next year. Sliti stated that the move to Excelsior is a positive step to gain match rhythm and consistent playing time, rather than a setback.

Sliti has performed well during his loan spell, recording three goals and an assist in seven official matches. He also recently contributed to the Netherlands U19 team, scoring as a substitute in a 4-0 victory against Bosnia and Herzegovina, which secured the team's place in the Euro 2027 play-offs.

Regarding his teammate Givairo Read, Sliti praised Read's development as a regular starter at Feyenoord and captain of the Netherlands U19 side, noting that while they follow different paths, he hopes to achieve similar success at his parent club.
