Southampton: 5 Dutch Eredivisie players who Saints should look to sign
By Marc Walker
Sven Botman
Botman is a Netherlands youth international and a player of great potential at only 20 years old.
Being a left-footed centre-back too, his skills will surely be in high demand if he continues to develop well as a player into the future.
His club SC Heerenveen sit in midtable in the Eredivisie but certainly have a reliable defensive presence in their ranks to build with towards the future.
Botman has respectable stats for tackling and interceptions, but a high number of clearances per game – hinting at an ability to be in the right place at the right time to thwart attacks.
