Has already scored 10 goals in only 17 league games this season for PSV and has 12 goals in all comps. A goalscoring midfielder who's clearly getting better all the time and having just turned 25 years old coming into the peak of his powers.
While the central midfielders in our current team and squad couldn't hit a barn door for the most part we have a midfielder banging in goals for fun elsewhere.
Can see Van Ginkel ending up at a top European club if we don't bring him back at some point. He's already played for AC Milan and a player that Jose Mourinho has previously compared to Lampard and Gerrard.
Obviously he's not as good as those two and wouldn't even need to be half as good.
Our squad is crying out for more players who can stick the ball in the back of the net and Van Ginkel is probably now a £30 million + player who wouldn't cost us a penny to bring back this summer.
The club did the right thing bringing back Christensen last summer, hopefully they bring back Van Ginkel next summer as opposed to doing a KDB and watching him eventually end up at a rival.
Time to bring back Marco Van Ginkel

I think the real question is, would he want to come back? He seems happy where he is - I can't see him choosing to return now, although I agree a free scoring central midfield player would be excellent.

As recently as November he stated how much he'd like to return to Chelsea and be given a second chance:

I hadn't read that, Superb. That's interesting - good for him if he is still ambitious. I hope Conte is listening in that case.

Would AC consider bringing him back in the Jan window..?
Unsure what his loan deal was....or what we are planning in the market...the Dutch league ain't the prem though...
Peds and willy need to step up really

Sheriff not sure if we'd be able to bring back Van Ginkel in Jan. Normally with these yearly loan deals you can't do that as far as I'm aware. Would have to be in the summer.

Plus presumably he'd be more of a threat to Bakayoko or Fabregas as a central midfield player, rather than either Pedro or Willian.

Yeah he'd definitely be a threat to either Fabregas and Bakayoko
