He is one of the brightest stars in Dutch football and rising through the ranks, catching the attention of the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United.

A move to Europe may be abit too premature but expect him to follow in the footsteps of the likes of Rafael Van Der Vaart and Wesley Sneijder. Watch this space....
