Cillessen's arrival also sends a message to Go Ahead's first-choice keeper

Cillessen joins Go Ahead Eagles as backup keeper while Nick Marsman recovers from knee injury, signalling uncertainty around first-choice Kjetil Haug.

Jasper Cillessen has signed with Go Ahead Eagles to provide goalkeeping cover while first-choice Nick Marsman recovers from a knee injury. The 37-year-old's arrival, however, signals that the club is reconsidering its faith in Kjetil Haug, the Norwegian keeper signed last May as successor to Jari De Busser. Haug, who joined on a three-year deal, has never been a long-term starter at any club, and Go Ahead's move for Cillessen suggests the club may be hedging its bets on the young keeper's development.
