PSV Eindhoven youngster Riechedly Bozoer has been urged to snub the advances of Premier League teams by the club’s sporting director.
The 16-year-old defender has been attracting the attention of Newcastle, Manchester City and Arsenal, but Goal revealed that he has been advised to choose football over money.
Bozoer is widely regarded as one of the finest talents in his homeland and has become a key part of the Dutch youth teams.
Speaking to Goal, Marcel Brands instructed the youngster to stay put:
“We have offered him a professional contract now he has turned 16. I speak with the family, the boy and his agents. We hope we will get an answer soon.
“What is his intention? Is it to develop or go for bigger money in England? You have to ask him and his agent which clubs are interested in him. I don’t know and it doesn’t matter.
“It is his choice and the agent will do their best for the player. The only thing we can do is offer him good possibilities in terms of coaching and prospects.
“It’s difficult in England to reach the first team of the big clubs after joining out of the youth academy.
“A lot of young players from Holland went to England and have not yet played in the first team. Many of them ended up being loaned out to other clubs.
Due to his age, Bazoer would be free to join another club if a £296,000 compensation fee were paid to PSV.
