The former PSV director was asked by ESPN which player stands out to him, and immediately singled out Ryan Gravenberch.
He said, “If one player really stands out, I think that’s Gravenberch at Ajax. I think he has so much quality and also a physique that he fits into any competition. In my eyes, this is a player of the outside category.”
Asked if he could be a target for Everton, Brands said, “Whether he is feasible for Everton? I’m afraid he will make a choice right away for the absolute top, as for example Frenkie de Jong (to Barcelona) or Memphis Depay to Manchester United at the time did that. “
Brands confirmed the Eredivisie is a competition he keeps a close eye on, “Of course I look at the top clubs in the Netherlands for players who stand out, who could become interesting for the Premier League. In general the boys are a lot younger, which is always an interesting market.”
