Milan turn to Givairo Read: the new Dutch hope in January

Milan are seeking a reinforcement on the right side of defence for January and the hot name reported by TMW is Givairo Read of Feyenoord; Feyenoord Remember? The last Dutch player to wear the red-and-black shirt was Silvano Vos, who arrived from Ajax and is now in Serie D with Milan Futuro.

Read had already been scouted last summer by Roma and Inter; the 2006‑born, trained in Rotterdam, recorded 5 assists in 12 Eredivisie matches. In total he played 16 games during the season, including those in the Champions League.

With these numbers he is one of the top candidates to continue Milan's Dutch tradition.

Among the few Dutch players who have not broken through are Marco van Ginkel and Urby Emanuelson; however the tradition includes stars such as Marco van Basten, Ruud Gullit and Frank Rijkaard from the early nineties. Klaas‑jan Huntelaar and Patrick Kluivert did not meet expectations, while Edgar Davids, Tijani Reijnders and Clarence Seedorf have left a mark in midfield.
