After naming his Netherlands squad for the upcoming games with Spain, Poland and Bosnia & Herzegovina, De Boer spoke to Ons Oranje about the talents coming through.
He said, “A lot of young talents are knocking on the door. Michel Bakker at Paris Saint-Germain and Sven Botman just plays every game since he signed with Lille.”
De Boer also sees a number coming through in the Eredivisie, “Mo Ihattaren (PSV) of course and Calvin Stengs (AZ).
“(Ryan) Gravenberch is doing fantastic, also at an international level. He is also certainly a candidate that comes to mind.”
“You really have a lot of young talents knocking on the door.”
Indeed Botman and Bakker must have their chance
Doesn’t matter! Babel will keep his spot as he’s washed up and useless and managers love him
