Hoefkens wants to shop in Belgium with hopes of bringing old acquaintance to NAC Breda
NAC Breda are in the market for the signature of Liam De Smet. The 21-year-old midfielder is out of contract with Club Brugge NXT, and is said to prefer another challenge over a contract extension. NAC coach Carl Hoefkens hopes to bring De Smet to the Netherlands.
NAC's interest in De Smet was mentioned on the D'n Hoefcast – Code Geel podcast. The Belgian can thus be reunited with Hoefkens, as the two previously worked together at Club Brugge. The coach hopes to welcome De Smet to Breda soon.

That said, there is no agreement between NAC and De Smet just yet. The midfielder can move over on a free transfer, with his contract with Club Brugge expiring at the end of June. There will be no contract extension.
The midfielder went through the entire youth training of Club Brugge, and was also an important link at Club NXT, the development team.
Last season, De Smet played 27 matches in the Challenger Pro League. The right-footed player scored one goal and provided three assists.

Exclusive: Who is Armin Pecsi? Liverpool's NEXT signing
But just who is Armin Pecsi? The Hungarian goalkeeper is regarded as one of the best young keepers in European football at the moment. He caught the eye of Liverpool scouts with his performances in the Europa Conference League qualifiers against Fiorentina, where he made some crucial saves and did well in the penalty shoot-out. Advertisement Pecsi turned 20-years-old earlier this year and has made over 50 appearances for Puskas Akademia. He has been training with Puskas' first team since he was 16-years-old, and even made a friendly appearance at that age against Belgian side Club Brugge. This is a marker of his talent. Many in Hungary view him as the next big goalkeeping prospect after Peter Gulacsi, who also made the same pathway to Liverpool. © IMAGO - Armin Pecsi Liverpool Pecsi's statistics this season have been nothing short of remarkable. He's prevented 14.33 goals in the Hungarian top flight and has made the most saves out of any goalkeeper (91) in the league. Advertisement His heroic performances meant Puskas Akademia were able to compete with Robbie Keane led Ferencvaros for most of the season and were unlucky to miss out on the league title to the reigning Hungarian champions. Pecsi has also been nominated for the Golden Boy award alongside the likes of Dean Huijsen and Desire Doue. He is currently 47th in the rankings, and ranked second among goalkeepers. It is at this stage not known what Liverpool's plans are for the young Hungarian. It's possible he could be loaned out. However, with Caoimhin Kelleher leaving the club and Vitezslav Jaros expected to go out on loan, even the arrival of Giorgi Mamardashvili would not necessarily prevent him from staying at the club as a third choice keeper.

Kyiv outraged by Europe's decision to compensate investors with Russian assets
Ukrainian authorities have strongly criticised the decision to transfer part of Russia's frozen assets in Europe to Western investors, stating it weakens the EU's stance in confronting Moscow. Source: Reuters Details: Last month, the Belgian company Euroclear transferred €3 billion (US$3.4 billion) previously belonging to Russian investors to compensate Western companies whose assets were confiscated by Russia. This move alarmed Kyiv, which said such actions set a dangerous precedent and undermine Europe's determination in its confrontation with Russia. "If private investors are compensated before the victims of war, it won't be justice," said Iryna Mudra, Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine. She stressed that international law requires full reparations from the aggressor to the victims of war, not to companies that "entered a high-risk jurisdiction". The Euroclear decision raises concerns amid growing Western fatigue over support for Ukraine. Meanwhile, the frozen assets of the Russian Central Bank – most of which are held by Euroclear – remain a key leverage tool against Moscow. Ukraine insists these assets must be used for reconstruction and defence of the country. "If it is returned to Russia, it will be converted into tanks, missiles, drones, training of new troops," Mudra said. European leaders are expected to extend sanctions against Russia at the June summit. However, there are fears that some countries, including Hungary, might attempt to block the decision.
