When asked about the prospect of turning for the national team regularly, the player said he’s only thinking to cement his place in Bayern Munich line up.
“No, I’m not really working on that yet. I’m not a regular based player here, so I don’t think I should think about it then, but I have also seen how fast things can go, so of course, it is very secretly in the back of your mind.”
” Oranje is a dream and as a young footballer I think it makes sense to dream about it,” he said.
