Klaas-Jan Huntelaar:

The Ajax striker has scored over 70 goals in two seasons Shocked

with the Amsterdam club and Huntelaar is likely to leave this summer. The 24-year-old is strong in the air and, like all Dutch players, has fine skill on the ground. He would undoubtedly adapt to the Premier League with ease. Of course, Manchester United need a target man whilst Dimitar Berbatov’s no-show at the Spurs kit launch on Tuesday night could see Juande Ramos after a hit-man too.

Likely destination: Manchester United or Tottenham.

Will it happen? In recent days Huntelaar has been linked with Real Madrid and his agent claimed he would be too expensive for Roma. But the new La Liga champions can’t buy every striker in Europe (see David Villa above).

I don't watch Dutch football much, but in the example of Dirk Kuyt who we linked with heavily before he joined Liverpool, he isn't the success he was expected to be.

He only scored 3 goals in the league this season (and only 1 of which is from open play). That's less than our very own Younes Kaboul. I know he has been played out of position on the right wing a lot and he did a lot of chasing back and is a marvellous team player but he was expected to score goals for fun like he did for Feyenood.

I have a bit of reservation about players from the Dutch league. Maybe we will see how well (or not) Alves will do in Boro.
