Match2 Jan 2027

Sondre Ørjasæter leads the rout of De Graafschap

6‑0, and Sondre Ørjasæter took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Twente tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Match4 Jan 2027

Twente are top

56 points and nobody above them. The word is not being said around the ground yet, and it is being thought in every seat.

Transfer targets4 Jan 2027

An offer of $11.9M for David Rangel

Twente have gone to La Equidad with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Market4 Jan 2027

Feyenoord come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Twente did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market4 Jan 2027

Max Bruns puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Twente, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings4 Jan 2027

Both of them Sondre Ørjasæter's — 8.57

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.57, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Luiz Henrique is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.50 with 20 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Luiz Henrique is named among the best

There are footballers who have a good season and footballers a season is remembered for, and the second kind get their names read out in a hall in the summer. Twente will be quietly delighted and privately nervous.

Match2 Jan 2027

Nobody wants to play Twente right now

5 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Match19 Dec 2026

Twente run riot against Utrecht

3‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Player ratings21 Dec 2026

Luiz Henrique beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 33. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Match21 Dec 2026

Twente up to position 2

50 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Player ratings21 Dec 2026

Age has not caught Wout Weghorst yet — 8.11

At 34 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.11 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Match19 Dec 2026

Nobody wants to play Twente right now

3 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Squad21 Dec 2026

Ramiz Zerrouki in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Twente this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad21 Dec 2026

Words at Twente training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Luiz Henrique is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match19 Dec 2026

Nobody wins at Twente

9 home matches unbeaten. Visiting sides arrive already talking about the atmosphere, which is usually the sign that they have half-lost before kickoff.

Squad21 Dec 2026

Ruben van Bommel is carrying Twente

10 goals and a season average of 7.27. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

Too dear: Twente walk away from Germán Berterame

$12.9M was the most the club would pay and Inter Miami CF were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Ruben van Bommel

Successful dribbles: 30. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market31 Aug 2026

Ringo Meerveld is a Twente player

The fee is $6.9M, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. Heerenveen drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.

Market31 Aug 2026

Max Bruns hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Twente can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Vintage Wout Weghorst — 8.21

At 34 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 8.21, and nobody on the pitch better.

Market31 Aug 2026

Twente say no — this time

The offer from PSV for Max Bruns was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market31 Aug 2026

Kristian Nökkvi Hlynsson attracts admirers

The name of Kristian Nökkvi Hlynsson has come up in conversations Twente were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Lars Unnerstall in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Twente this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match29 Aug 2026

Twente find a way past Groningen

Groningen made Twente work for it, but the scoreboard read 3‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.
