Feyenoord's Lutsharel Geertruida has revealed that he would love to follow in the footsteps of Arjen Robben to play in the Premier League. The Dutch defender named Chelsea as a dream club while on international duty, suggesting that the Blues were his club from an early age.
The 21-year-old defender made it all the way to the Europa Conference League final before falling to Jose Mourinho's Roma side but found himself a regular across all competitions despite knee surgery ruling him out of the start of the season.
Geertruida has featured in the centre and right-hand side of the defence and even as a defensive midfielder, not dissimilar to Reece James, though he does not pose the same threat going forwards as the Chelsea star. Perhaps he would not be an undesirable understudy when Cesar Azpilicueta leaves Stamford Bridge. The Spaniard has just over 12 months remaining on his deal after triggering an extension, but a move back to his homeland has not been ruled out.
