Excelsior close to securing Jan Plug on loan from Feyenoord

Excelsior are on the verge of securing defender Jan Plug on loan from Feyenoord Rotterdam, the Oranje‑club that nurtured his development. FR12 reports the agreement is close, positioning the move as a key boost for the Eredivisie side in the upcoming season.

According to FR12, De Kralingers are near a deal for the defender, who featured in the second half for FC Dordrecht last season. The loan would see Plug temporarily join an Eredivisie club.

Both clubs view the arrangement as beneficial for the player's development. Excelsior have long shown interest, while Feyenoord Rotterdam appear enthusiastic about lending to their city rival.

In the Keuken Kampioen Divisie, Plug impressed as a left‑back for FC Dordrecht, prompting Feyenoord to consider an Eredivisie step as a logical progression. His performances have attracted attention from higher‑level clubs.

Recent speculation linked Plug with Austria Wien, Watford and Queens Park Rangers, as well as the Deense champion Aarhus GF and clubs from the 2. Bundesliga. These rumors underline his rising profile.

Reports state the player's personal terms are ‘nearly done’ with Excelsior, suggesting a swift completion. A rapid transfer is expected once the clubs finalise the agreement.

If the deal is sealed, Plug will join Excelsior for the coming season, providing defensive reinforcement to the Eredivisie‑club. The move would strengthen their back line ahead of the campaign.
