Leeds United's Pascal Struijk details the goal he is prioritising over his World Cup 'dream'

Leeds United defender Pascal Struijk has revealed that it would be a 'dream' to play at the World Cup in the future. The 23-year-old was born in Belgium and his paternal grandparents were born in the Dutch East Indies - making him eligible to play for Belgium or Indonesia.

However, Struijk moved to The Hague at the age of three and spent 15 years of his life in the Netherlands, where he took in spells in the youth academies of ADO Den Haag and Ajax respectively.

Struijk was capped three times by the Netherlands U17s in 2016 and played alongside a number of current Dutch internationals, including Matthijs de Ligt, Tyrell Malacia and Donyell Malen. The Leeds defender believes the best route onto the international stage is to focus on his performances at club level.
