Feyenoord and Netherlands defender Quilindschy Hartman says he could have joined Chelsea<\/a> last summer<\/a> had an injury not denied him of a dream transfer move to the Premier League<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hartman, 23, broke into Feyenoord’s first-team in 2022 and played a key role in an eye-catching debut season in senior football to help his boyhood club win their first Eredivisie title in six years.<\/p>\n

The left-back picked up where he left off last term, adding another piece of silverware to his collection as Arne Slot<\/a>’s men lifted the Dutch Cup.<\/p>\n

Hartman’s assured performances quickly caught the attention of some of the biggest clubs in Europe, with Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Chelsea all credited with an interest in the young full-back.<\/p>\n

Chelsea were believed to be in pole position for Hartman but the Dutchman sustained a serious knee injury in March, putting the kibosh on a potential switch to Stamford Bridge ahead of the 2024\/25 season.<\/p>\n

The devastating setback ruled Hartman out of the remainder of Feyenoord’s season, as well as the Netherlands’ Euro 2024 campaign last summer.<\/p>\n

‘Are you unlucky when you have become champion with Feyenoord, played in the Champions League, the quarterfinals of the Europa League and made it to the Dutch national team?’ Hartman told Voetbal Primeur<\/a> when reflecting on what could have been.<\/p>\n

‘It\u2019s true that Chelsea wanted me, but of course that didn\u2019t happen because of my knee. <\/p>\n

‘Too bad, emotionally it would have been a club for me, but it\u2019s not like I\u2019m still losing sleep over it. <\/p>\n

‘Things go as they go and playing for Feyenoord is never a punishment.’<\/p>\n
