RADARINDRAMAYU.ID - Mees Hilgers, the Indonesian national team center back who plays for FC Twente, has garnered widespread attention following his impressive performance in a Europa League match against Manchester United.

His consistent form has led Dutch media, particularly Footballtransfers.com, to suggest that Serie A Italian club, Como 1907, should consider signing Hilgers as a replacement for Raphael Varane, the star player currently at Manchester United.

According to the report, Hilgers and Varane share an extraordinary similarity in playing style.

SciSports, a football data analytics firm, found that Hilgers’ defensive style has a 99% similarity to Varane’s.

This comparison is based on their shared strengths as reliable center-backs, calm defenders, and their ability to play the ball out from the back and contribute to attack-building.

Footballtransfers.com highlighted that Como 1907, currently struggling in Serie B, needs a quality center-back to avoid relegation.

With Hilgers shining and still under contract at FC Twente, they believe this Indonesian talent could make a significant impact on Como’s defense if they decide to sign him.

Hilgers is not only noted for his defensive skills but also recognized as a modern defender who can contribute to ball possession and accurate passing, qualities essential in today’s football.

As Hilgers’ career continues to rise, particularly after being called up to represent the Indonesian national team, many Dutch football pundits have labeled him as one of the most promising talents.

Despite his young age, Hilgers has demonstrated maturity at the highest levels, playing in major European leagues and international competitions.

Footballtransfers.com's recommendation for Como 1907 to sign Hilgers is certainly not without reason.

The 22-year-old center-back is seen as possessing all the attributes needed to succeed in Serie B and potentially compete at higher levels in the future. Additionally, his presence at Como could bring much-needed stability to their defense.
