Thom Haye set to make decision on Heerenveen future amid Sunderland links

SC Heerenveen midfielder Thom Haye is set to make a decision regarding his future at the Eredivisie club in the coming days amid links to Sunderland. The 28-year-old midfielder was part of De Superfriezen side that missed out on Europa League qualification following a 6-1 aggregate defeat to FC Twente.

The Black Cats have been repeatedly linked with the former Dutch youth international in recent months. "In principle, I still have a contract here. I know there is interest and things are going on, but I’m pushing all of that off me,” Haye told Omrop Fryslan.

"I find that difficult to say. I have always said that I can still take a step from Heerenveen. That is my ambition.

"But I am also in the right place here. It is not that I have to leave, But if something comes up that makes me excited, I want to take a step."

When pressed about transfer interest in himself this summer, Haye replied: "I have read that too. So I did inquire whether there is interest and that is correct. But I did not ask which clubs."

However, the midfielder, who made 31 league appearances for Heerenveen during the 2022/23 campaign, says he could still stay at the Dutch club next season.
