The former Ajax and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 striker insisted that FC Twente's ace will be the next Dutch star through the perfect guidance given at De Grolsch Veste.
The former Oranje striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luuk-de-Jong-c22956 will become his national side’s first-choice striker in the future.
The young striker arrived at De Grolsch Veste in the summer of 2009 after making 14 appearances for De Graafschap. The 21-year-old proved his worth in the Tukkers squad and impressed many with his scintillating skills upfront.
Netting 29 goals in 63 appearances thus far for the Enschede giants, he managed to garner interest from a host of elite European clubs. Furthermore, his consistent performances also rewarded him with the Oranje debut in the 3-1 win against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Austria-c2844 in February
2011.
He netted his first goal for the national side in the 2-0 win over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Finland-c2898 in a UEFA Euro 2012 qualifier.
Kluivert, who is Netherlands’ all-time leading goal scorer, has revealed that the youngster is receiving perfect guidance to develop into a perfect striker at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Twente-c39233.
“He's getting the perfect guidance to develop into a real star in Europe at Twente. I consider him to be the future No. 9 of the Dutch national side”, Kluivert was quoted as saying to NUsport.
The 35-year-old then went on to reveal that Luuk is surrounded with a good crop of Dutch players with the likes of Ola John and Wesley Verhoek, and he can certainly enhance his skills further before moving to pastures greener.
“It is great for Luuk that he will be playing along with Ola John and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wesley-Verhoek-c36800. Both are good wingers, and Luuk can certainly flourish further”, Kluivert concluded.
De Jong has been heavily linked with a move to join one of the English Premier League clubs with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 and Newcastle United believed to be his key admirers.
Though the 21-year-old has an ongoing contract at De Grolsch Veste that runs until the summer of 2014, it seems likely that he would be moving abroad at the end of the ongoing 2011/12 campaign.
