Van der Meyde urges Holland to consider Aston Villa midfielder El Ghazi

Everton hero Andy van der Meyde says Holland should take a close look at Aston Villa midfielder Anwar El Ghazi.

Van der Meyde believes El Ghazi could offer a solution on the right side of the Oranje midfield.

“I think he is a boy who has the qualities to fill the position well," said Van der Meyde.

"Because there are so few options for the right-wing striker position, El Ghazi should perhaps have been in by now.

“The problem is that in the Netherlands the system has changed in recent years and that the right legs are on the left and the left legs on the right. And there are fewer left legs.

“Come in and shoot with their good leg. Actually, I was pretty much the last real right winger in Oranje. Arjen Robben came after me as a left leg on the right and that is now the trend."
