Should Danjuma make the final squad set to be announced next week and features against the Germans, he will become cap-tied to the Netherlands.

The Dutch Federation are aware that the Lagos-born left winger is on the radar of the Nigerian Federation and want to tie down the player as soon as possible.

The PSV Eindhoven Academy product has scored 2 goals in 6 appearances for Netherlands U21s and has been rewarded with a maiden call-up to the senior squad after scoring 4 goals in his last six games for Club Brugge in the First Division A.
