5 young superstars who could break into the Netherlands national team 

#3 Myron Boadu (AS Monaco)

Myron Boadu - AZ Alkmaar vs Manchester United: Group L - UEFA Europa League game

Myron Boadu was born in Amsterdam, Netherlands, in 2001, and spent most of his youth career with AZ Alkmaar (2013-17). He signed his first professional contract in 2018, debuting in the Eredivisie in May that year in a 6-0 home win over PEC Zwolle.

Boadu scored his first professional goal against NAC Breda in August 2018, becoming the youngest goalscorer for AZ aged 17 years and 210 days.

The Netherlands youth striker signed for Monaco in August 2021 for a €17 million fee. He fittingly scored his first goal for his new team against former side AZ's rivals, PSV Eindhoven.

Boadu made 30 appearances for Netherlands at youth level, scoring 13 goals, with 11 of them coming for the U-21 team. Owing to his red hot form, Boadu was handed his senior debut in a 5-0 win over Estonia in 2019 in a UEFA Euro 2020 qualifier.

His quickness and ability to hold up defenders means Boadu is set to be a mainstay in the Netherlands squad for years to come.

#2 Noa Lang (Club Brugge)

Due to his trickery and output on the wings, Noa Lang has attracted the attention of multiple clubs.

Noa Noell Lang was born in Netherlands in 1999, and began his youth career at HION. He then moved to Feyenoord, where he played for eight years (2005-13) before joining Ajax's set-up in 2013. It was there that the winger made a name for himself.

Noa Lang racked up a stunning tally of 71 goals in 121 games for Jong Ajax before getting promoted to the senior team in 2019. In December that year, Lang became the first player in 60 years to score a hat-trick on debut as Ajax came from two goals down to beat Twente 5-2.

Lang signed for Club Brugge on an initial year-long loan with an option to make it permanent the next year. He scored his first goal for the Belgian side in a loss against OH Leuven.

Lang also impressed against PSG earlier this season in the Champions League group stage, taking the game to the opposition.

Noa Lang has made 28 appearances for Netherlands across youth levels, scoring nine goals. He made his debut for the senior side in a FIFA World Cup 2022 qualifier against Latvia earlier this year. Going forward, he is expected be an exceptional player for the Oranje.

#1 Ryan Gravenberch (Ajax)

Ryan Gravenberch is a tall and strong box-to-box midfielder.

Ryan Jiro Gravenberch was born in Amsterdam, Netherlands, in 2002, and spent most of his youth career at Ajax (2010-18). He signed his first professional contract with the club in June 2018.

Gravenberch made his Eredivisie debut for Ajax in a 3-0 loss to PSV. In the process, he became the youngest player to represent Ajax in the Eredivisie, aged 16 years and 130 days, breaking Clarence Seedorf's record. He also became Ajax's youngest-ever goalscorer soon after.

The box-to-box midfielder made 22 appearances for Netherlands across youth levels, scoring twice. He was called up to the senior squad in November last year. However, he only debuted in March 2021 in a FIFA World Cup 2022 qualifier against Turkey. His first goal for the Netherlands came in a 3-0 win over Georgia in a friendly.

Playing at the heart of midfield with passion, vigour and urgency, Gravenberch has shown great leadership quality. The prospect of him teaming up with Frenkie De Jong in midfield is a mouth-watering one.
