Reports in Belgium suggest that top-flight side Waasland-Beveren are set to sign Plymouth Argyle’s Oscar Threlkeld.

The 23-year-old has become a key figure at Home Park after signing from Bolton Wanderers in the summer of 2016 following a successful loan spell, but he is out of contract this summer, although the club have offered him a new deal.

Threlkeld is now mulling over his next move, but after two hugely successful campaigns with the Pilgrims, interest is sure to be high.

Now, a Belgian-based journalist is claiming that Threlkeld is poised to be unveiled by Waasland-Beveren once he has passed a medical with the Belgian top flight club, who finished 12th in the 16-team Jupiler League this season.

Argyle will want to keep Threlkeld at Home Park, but if he was to leave for Belgium, then the Pilgrims would not receive a fee for his services, despite him being under the age of 24, as he would be available on a ‘Bosman’ free and entitled to move abroad for nothing.

Championship club Preston North End are also said to be keen on Threlkeld, but they would have to pay for his services, being based in England.



Just goes to show that any club with ambition and pays accordingly can attract players even to a country as dull as Belgium. Again wouldn't hold it against him if he goes. No point holding out for him to sign for a english team as Del Bhey wont see a penny of any percentage argyle may get.

Oscar Threlkeld was born 15/2/1994.....so he is already 24.

Think Wikipedia is incorrect as baggo states his birthday is 15th December 1994 (although that could also be wrong   )

He celebrated his birthday in February.....so already 24.

Did Oscar leave to be closer to his Family? thats what the Arselickers usually claim when a quality player leaves the non ambitious non developer for a proper club foreign or english ....... The Brentmare goes on.

No - he left to try football abroad. Can't you read?
(yeah I know I'm a twat! )

Or he got offered better money. Anyone that knows Threlkeld will wonder why Belgium of all places, maybe there’s a Revolutions and Pop world.

Basically he wanted a change, fair play to him, at least his new club has a ground that doesn't look like a shit tip.

To save opening another thread,

Plymouth Argyle favourite Oscar Threlkeld is on the lookout for a new club after having his contract terminated by Belgian side Waasland-Beveren.

The 24-year-old only joined the Belgian top flight club last summer after rejecting Argyle's offer of a new contract and he headed across the English channel to fulfil a dream of playing abroad.

However, the former Bolton Wanderers youngster made just two appearances for the club before returning to England - and Argyle - in the January transfer window.

It was a less successful spell, though, which ultimately ended in relegation from League One and on his return to Belgium, Threlkeld has come to a mutual agreement with his employers to have his contract terminated.

A statement on the club's official website, translated into English, read: "Oscar Threlkeld is no longer a player of Waasland-Beveren.

"The British defender and Waasland-Beveren have decided by mutual agreement to end the cooperation.

"In the summer of 2018, Threlkeld landed on the Freethiel, but could never really continue. He was lent in the winter mercato to his ex-team Plymouth Argyle, but he couldn't really convince there either. The defender's contract is dissolved.

"Good luck in your next challenge, Oscar!"

Id have him back here but hes destined for a new club and probably for the best alround.

Expect where ever adams ends up is where Oscar will end up.
But then again Adams brought him back not to play him.
Oscar needs to be settled somewhere get a few games under his belt somewhere he is wanted.

He needs to move away from Argo and start afresh, good luck to him.
