Denny Landzaat profile
He is extremely hot property at present and a starring show this summer could lead to a transfer scramble.
"There will be a big price to pay for him."
AZ Alkmaar coach Louis van Gaal.
The midfielder came through the famed Ajax youth academy, having been born and raised in Amsterdam, but he was allowed to slip through the net and helped MVV Maastricht to promotion in the 1996/97 season.
His talents were there for all to see and Willem II lured him to Tilburg in 1999 and it was his efforts for the Tricolores which prompted former Oranje coach Louis van Gaal to hand him his international bow against Estonia in 2001.
Willem II could not satisfy Landzaat's desires and he moved on to AZ in the 2004 January transfer window.
Landzaat has flourished at the Alkmaarderhout, but has made no secret of his desire to move on and he could use the World Cup finals as the stage to showcase his talents.
