Inter owned midfielder Xian Emmers discussed his disappointing season on loan with Belgian side Waasland-Beveren and his future in an interview with Belgian media outlet Het Belang van Limburg earlier today.
“I started the season with the best expectations, but I played very little. The results were not good and we had to fight, even the coach was replaced. Inter have already made me understand that they would like to loan me out for another season.”
Emmers then discussed how next season will be important for him and the transfer market.
“It will be an important year for me, but for the moment I can’t say much about the various interests. The market is quite calm now because the leagues in many countries are still going on. I don’t care where I’m going to play, I just want to have regular minutes.”
The 20-year-old Belgian defender, who is the son of former professional Marc Emmers, joined Inter in 2015 on a free transfer from the Genk youth system. He developed in Inter’s youth set up and spent time out on loan with fellow Italian side Cremonese. He appeared semi-regularly for them, making 20 appearances across all competitions and providing two goal contributions.
This season Emmers has made nine appearances across all competitions for Waasland-Beveren, for a total of 470 minutes. In that time, he has scored one goal and provided one assist, not making an appearance for the club since November. He failed to play a full 90 minutes for the Belgian side.
