Dutch Club Director Of Football Convinced Danjuma Will Play For Netherlands Ahead Of Nigeria

NEC Nijmegen Director of Football, Remco Oversier, is convinced Club Brugge star Arnaut Danjuma will make his debut for the Dutch national team within a few years.

Although Danjuma was born in Lagos, he is provisionally cap-tied to the Netherlands after representing their U21 team in competitive matches, most recently this month when he started games against England and Scotland in the U21 EURO qualifiers.

With Club Brugge participating in the group stage of this season's Champions League, the Nigerian Federation and
Royal Dutch Football Association are expected to monitor his performances.

''When I saw him working at NEC, I knew that's one that will get to the Dutch national team within three years, he's really good, " says Oversier to Voetbal International.

''If you send him into the depth without a ball, he's not exceptionally fast, but with the ball he is threatening, explosive and can go inside and out.

"His pedaling technique is also phenomenal, the boy has so much potential, you have to analyze all his goals, all different types, I've literally seen right backs falling over because they did not know anymore, and he's attacking very fast. ''

Arnaut Danjuma  was sold to Club Brugge by NEC in the summer transfer window and has netted 3 goals in his first six matches in the Belgian First Division A.
