Netherlands' national side is not exactly known for its strong defenders, but that could very well change in the near future, according to former Ajax and Holland coach Marco van Basten. San Marco is full of confidence that Chelsea duo Jeffrey Bruma and Patrick van Aanholt could make the step up for Oranje.
"They have talked a lot about Bruma in Holland because in a defensive way we have not a big problem but there is room for a few good new defenders," Van Basten was quoted as saying on the official Chelsea website.
"He is one of these defenders that can be interesting for the future of Holland, so we are following all these guys and also Van Aanholt. I haven't seen him play much, but he is also a big name in the youth department."
Bruma is a product of the Feyenoord youth academy and made his official Premier League debut for Chelsea in October 2009.
Van Aanholt came through the ranks at PSV before joining Chelsea in 2007. The left back made his first Premier League appearance in March.
