From Cruyff and Van Basten to Kluivert and Van Nistelrooy, the Netherlands have always produced quality strikers and true to form they have produced yet another in Ricky van Wolfswinkel. The Utrecht striker has had a lightening start to the season which has included nine goals in nine appearances in the Eredivisie and six goals in nine appearances in the Europa League, including a hat trick against Celtic.
Van Wolfswinkel started his career at Vitesse where he made his first team debut on the 25th April 2008 against Sparta Rotterdam. After 33 appearances for the Arnhem club Van Wolfswinkel moved for around €5 million to his hometown club FC Utrecht after rejecting a host of big name clubs.
His prolific goal-scoring this season earned him a call up to the national team for the friendly against the Ukraine in August and has also attracted even bigger names such as Liverpool, Tottenham and Napoli to pursue Van Wolfswinkel. It is undoubtedly only a matter of time before the Dutch striker applies his trade in a bigger league.
