Branco van den Boomen on the way out?
Arrived in 2020 at Téfécé from the De Graafschap club, the Dutch midfielder could leave the banks of the Garonne in the coming weeks.
Like Rhys Healey or Stijn Spierings, Branco van den Boomen is the symbol of Toulouse FC’s new sports policy and its president Damien Comolli.
A good player in the Dutch second division, BVDB was recruited by the TFC for a sum amounting to €350,000. Unknown to the general public and having never managed to break into the first division, the Haut-Garonne leaders have taken a not so risky bet.
Data as a basis for recruitment
Inspired by what is being done in other sports and by Matthew Benham and Brentford, the Toulouse president decides to invest enough in the recruitment cell.
The objective is to optimize the recruitment of a player as much as possible. He is first analyzeon compare performance and its statistics before to send scouts.
This strategy aims to position itself on players who are not or little known but who have a rendering close to the best.
It is therefore thanks to this technique that the Toulouse leaders were able to form a successful group for Ligue 2 in the image of its Dutch midfielder.
A rib that exploded
By signing for the TFC, Branco van den Boomen entered a new dimension. Although playing in the French second division, far from the spotlight of the whole world, his exceptional performances in a championship deemed to be tough saw his coast explode. From €350,000 when he signed for Toulouse to €6 million today.
His stats are not there for nothing. In two seasons on the banks of the Garonne, the native of Eindhoven found the net 17 times and above all delivered 29 assists.
With an offensive contribution and in the consequent game, the midfielder attracts covetousness. While the rumors about his ill-being are becoming more and more proven, Téfécé is hopeful of keeping his jewel and is counting on a workforce with an emphasis orange to convince him to stay with the violets.
