The UEFA Europa Conference League is heading down to the wire, with four teams remaining in the competition which has so far proven to be a hit with supporters, particularly Feyenoord.
The Dutch giants are set to take on Olympique Marseille in the semi-finals for a spot in their first European final since 2002, when Feyenoord won the UEFA Cup against Borussia Dortmund.

As well as a final at stake, many of Feyenoord’s players will be in the spotlight in the two-legged series ahead of the summer transfer window, with the Eredivisie side one of the top clubs in Europe for producing homegrown talents and developing those from abroad.
With that being said, here are five Feyenoord players who could win a move to the Premier League this summer should they impress in their upcoming Europa Conference League clash against Marseille, with clubs from around the league no doubt keeping tabs on the Dutch side.
Justin Bijlow
A player who is likely to miss this week’s opening leg, Justin Bijlow is regarded by many as the Netherlands’ next great hope for the goalkeeping position, with Holland’s production of short-stoppers being somewhat underwhelming despite their abundance in almost every role on the pitch.
At 24-years-old, Bijlow has already played close to 100 games for his boyhood club, yet this summer could see the talented keeper make the move from Feyenoord, with the Rotterdam-born star a player who could be perfect for numerous Premier League sides ahead of next season.
Marcos Senesi
Another talent who could miss the clash against Marseille to injury, Marcos Senesi has often been seen as one of the Eredivisie’s best defenders, with the Argentine already being linked to the likes of Newcastle United and Inter Milan ahead of the summer transfer window.
And if Feyenoord misses out on silverware again this season, the Argentine international could be tempted to depart the Netherlands for bigger and better things, especially with two big clubs already reportedly interested in him.
Tyrell Malacia
If you’ve played Football Manager in recent seasons, you’re already aware of Tyrell Malacia. The 22-year-old left-back is one of the most exciting fullbacks in Europe and has been a key member for Feyenoord ever since graduating from the academy.
Rapid on the ball and technically gifted, Malacia is a modern-day fullback in the purest sense of the phrase, and the Premier League could be very well suited to the Dutch international, especially for a club that are looking to sign a young and dynamic left-back for years to come.
Orkun Kokcu
Like Malacia, Orkun Kokcu is a name very familiar with Football Manager players, with the Turkish international consistently being linked with a move to Arsenal on what feels like a monthly basis. Yet after watching just a few minutes of the midfielder, it’s pretty easy to see why.
Kokcu is a playmaker that wouldn’t look out of place in an Arsene Wenger squad of old, and with Feyenoord reportedly open to selling the 21-year-old this summer, the Gunners could finally land the midfielder if Mikel Arteta can picture the youngster in his squad for next season.
Luis Sinisterra
Speaking of Arsenal, the Gunners, as well as Newcastle, are both reportedly interested in Feyenoord star Luis Sinisterra, who looks ready for a huge move this summer based on his incredible form this campaign.
Feyenoord’s leading goalscorer and assist-maker by quite some distance this season, Sinisterra could be available this summer for as little as £17m according to reports, and based on his output, the Colombian international looks all but set for a massive move in the transfer window.
