"I am not saying he will have the same career as Dusan Tadic, but he reminds me of him and Twente sold him for £7 million.

"Breum has already played a lot of games for a young player.
"It would be a lot of money for him, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if a big club would pay that.
"Look at his form last season and his potential.
"If I really wanted to find a special player in the Netherlands, he'd be on that list.

Jakob Breum opens Celtic transfer door despite rejected bid as Josh Brownhill exit 'saddens' boss
Brendan Rodgers' side have already had an offer turned down for the Denmark U-21 international Jakob Breum has told Celtic that he could still leave Go Ahead Eagles this month - despite the Hoops being unable to agree a deal for the Danish winger. The Eredivisie team have made it clear that they will not sell the 21-year-old for any less than £5million after throwing out a bid worth £1.5million from Brendan Rodgers' side. Record Sport has learned that the Dutch outfit are standing firm on their valuation of the player because 25 per cent of his next transfer fee will be awarded to Breum's former club Odense, having inserted a sell-on clause into the Dane's switch to the Netherlands two years ago. Go Ahead pulled off a huge shock by edging out AZ Alkmaar on penalties to win the KNVB Cup last season, securing qualification for the group stages of the Europa League for the first time in their history. But the player himself admits that a move elsewhere could still be on the cards in the final month of the summer window. Speaking to ESPN after Go Ahead Eagles' 2-1 loss to PSV Eindhoven in the Johan Cruyff Shield on Sunday, he said: "Time will tell. "There's still one month left, but as long as I'm here, I'll do my best. It's a boring answer, but that's the way it is. Now that important players have left, other players have to step up." Meanwhile, Burnley boss Scott Parker concedes he is gutted to lose reported Celtic target Josh Brownhill. The midfielder has left the Clarets at the end of his contract despite scoring 18 goals in their Championship winning campaign last season to seal a quickfire return to the Premier League. Brownhill, 30, is said to have been offered a lucrative deal by Leicester City, but will reportedly consider offers from further afield. Asked about his departure, along with keeper James Trafford sealing a £27million move back to Manchester City, ex England international Parker told the Burnley Express: "They go with our best wishes and we're sad to lose them, of course. "They were a vital part, along with CJ [Egan-Riley] last year with what we did. "Obviously that's three instrumental players for us last year and we've not managed to retain them and they've gone on their ways. But I wish them nothing but the utmost best because they've been incredible for us last year. "Obviously it's a bit disappointing, but it is what it is. I get that and I understand that, so I wish them all the best and rightly so. "I'm sure our fans and everyone at the football club wish them all the best on their onward journey."

Motherwell star is happy to be in the dark about St Mirren
Elijah Just says he can't over-think about an opponent if he doesn't know much about them Elijah Just knows absolutely nothing about St Mirren – and reckons that could work in his and Motherwell's favour. Just and his team-mates travel to Paisley on Saturday to tackle the Saints, looking to build on their 1-1 draw at home to Rangers on Saturday evening. The 25-year-old New Zealander says being in the dark about their opponents might help. Just, who signed a two-year deal from Danish side Horsens last month, said: 'I'm sure a lot of the lads are quite familiar with St Mirren and the players, but I'm new, so I don't know too much. 'To be honest, I think that works in my favour – I just go into the game not thinking, or over-thinking, just playing my game, and getting stuck in.' Just has impressed since his arrival in ML1, and played a key role in Saturday's draw against Rangers. The midfielder reckons being brave on the ball is playing a major part in their success so far. Just said: 'That was really enjoyable, against a team like Rangers, who have a lot of quality. 'There were times when I was just watching the centre-backs just try and play, they were so courageous. 'When we play them in the first game it's really important that we try to apply ourselves in the way the manager wants us to play, and I think we did a really good job. 'The boys were really courageous, and it was a step in the right direction. We know that if we play with that style we'll create chances and we'll be a good side. 'Where I play, in the middle, it can be tough, but especially at the back, inside out own goal box. That takes a lot of courage, and we were brave on the ball. 'It was very intense, the fans were loud, the pitch was really good, and when I went out to warm up, I thought 'this is proper football' – but when the game got going, I started to feel good and comfortable.' Just says there wasn't much said at half-time, as Motherwell stepped up pressure on Rangers in the second period. He said: 'We made a few small adjustments at half-time, but it was more or less keep doing what we're doing, try to limit the turnovers, and be really smart on the ball. 'As the game went on and we didn't have the equaliser, and there were a few chances, you start to think 'we really need something here'. 'When the goal went in, we pushed on and had another two chances at the end, so we're really happy.' Just is chasing a place in New Zealand's team at the 2026 World Cup, and reckons Motherwell is a good place to show what he can do. He said: 'Personally, it's really important. It's one year to the World Cup and I want to put myself in the best possible position in the national team. 'So I hope I can get a good run of games, and play well, and see what happens. 'I hope I'll be involved next summer. This current group of players we have with the national team are really strong, who are playing all around the world, so competition is really high. 'If I can do well in the Premiership this year, that gives me the best opportunity to play. 'That's a real driver for this move. It's a massive motivation for me, to be in that World Cup squad. There are a lot of players in my position, who are playing in really good clubs around the world, so this is a massive opportunity for me.'
