Written By Albert Echatah
Bologna star Joshua Zirkzee has been called up to the Netherlands team for Euro 2024.
More Details
Given that the Netherlands squad is packed with stars, the 23-year-old would have been unhappy to miss out on a spot after an outstanding debut season in a successful Bologna team.
The Bologna striker, who finished the season with 12 goals and 7 assists in 37 games for the Italian team, has become United’s top target along with Arsenal.
Atalanta’s Teun Koopmeiners has been replaced by Zirkzee after the striker was forced to withdraw from Ronald Koeman’s squad due to an injury.
Zirkzee will join the Netherlands team on Thursday at their training camp in Wolfsburg.

France captain Kylian Mbappe has expressed his desire to play Germany in the European Championship final this year.
Les Bleus are one of the favourites to win the competition which gets underway this weekend.
In an interview with Sport Bild, Mbappe said: “We come to Germany to make history. It’s our job. We are ready, we are hungry for success and we know what we have to do. We can do something good for our country if we bring the cup home.”
