da betsson： Southampton winger Steve De Ridder has revealed his disappointment at being left out of manager Nigel Adkins’ squad for their Boxing Day clash with Fulham.
da casino： Having made his Premier League debut against Sunderland just a few days before the 1-1 draw at Craven Cottage, the Belgian was believed to be in line for at least a spot on the bench.
The 25-year-old, who signed from De Graafschap in Holland in 2011, believes that he did enough to deserve a place in the squad and claims that he was “disappointed” to be overlooked:
“I was extremely pleased that I could make my debut, but I wasn’t unhappy with my performance so I was very disappointed I was not there on Wednesday against Fulham. I have received good feedback as well, which is strange.” He told Belgian magazine Sporza.
“I believe that I am still on a good path and I have proven that I can deliver something others don’t have.
“I was surprised with my non-selection and will ask for an explanation from the coach.”
It is believed that a number of clubs from Holland, Belgium and the Championship are interested in De Ridder, who hinted that he would be willing to move on unless he is given first-team football:
“Of course I am thinking about my future. I am really aware that at a certain point I really have to start playing.
“There is interest from The Netherlands, Belgium and top sides from the Championship in England.”
