Netherlands-Cameroon right-back Steven van der Sloot of ADO Den Haag is being linked with a move to Eredivisie side FC Utrecht, with the 23-year-old’s future increasingly in focus after his contract details were listed as unknown and a potential free-agent scenario cannot be ruled out.
The defender, valued at €650k on Transfermarkt, is currently on the books of ADO Den Haag in the Keuken Kampioen Divisie but is now reportedly attracting interest from Utrecht as they look to reinforce at full-back ahead of next season. The probability of the transfer is listed only as “?”, underlining that discussions remain at a speculative stage rather than an advanced negotiation.
Born in Limbe on 6 July 2002 and holding both Netherlands and Cameroon nationality, Van der Sloot has developed into a modern attacking right-back, standing 1.75m tall and favouring his right foot. He wears the No 2 shirt for ADO Den Haag and is listed primarily as a defender – right-back – capable of providing width and energy down the flank.
The right-back has been a regular presence for ADO Den Haag in the Dutch second tier, with his performances in the Keuken Kampioen Divisie drawing attention from top-flight scouts. Although full statistical breakdowns for this season are not detailed in the available data, his growing market value and positional consistency suggest he has impressed sufficiently to put himself on the Eredivisie radar.
No fee has yet been reported and with his contract start and expiry dates undisclosed, Utrecht are thought to be monitoring whether a cut-price deal or even a free transfer could be possible if his situation at ADO Den Haag is not clarified soon.
Should a move materialise, a step up to Utrecht and regular Eredivisie football could be a significant turning point in Van der Sloot’s career, potentially enhancing both his reputation in the Netherlands and his longer-term prospects at international level.
