Feyenoord could be about to offer Al Ahli winger Oussama Assaidi a return to the Netherlands, according to reports.

Assaidi, 26, has failed to impress with the Red Knights since a winter switch from Premier League giants Liverpool.

A paltry return of just three Arabian Gulf League goals from 13 appearances has put his spot in the four-player foreign quota in serious jeopardy.

But despite this uninspiring form, Voetbal International believe he is being viewed by the De Kuip-outfit as a potential replacement for Jean-Paul Boetius following his switch to FC Basel.

Assaidi was born in Morocco – the country he represents internationally – and then moved to the Netherlands as a child, representing Omniworld, De Graafschap and Heerenveen there before his 2012 Anfield switch.
