Ruud Brood, who previously served as an assistant coach at PSV, has suggested that Sem Steijn could be a valuable addition to the team, citing his impressive development at Twente and his scoring ability. Brood noted that Steijn is a player who invests in his personal growth and could gain from playing at a higher level, such as the Champions League. Despite Steijn's recent contract extension with Twente until 2028 and his statement indicating that a winter transfer is unlikely, Brood maintains that Steijn would not seem out of place at PSV. Reflecting on his tenure at PSV from 2015 to 2018, Brood recalled Marcel Brands' strategy of scouting standout players from the Eredivisie's upper mid-table, suggesting that Steijn fits this profile. Brood emphasized Steijn's scoring skills and his potential for further development at a club like PSV, where he could train at a higher level and play alongside more skilled teammates.
