The right time to have invested in the Dutch international would have been while he was at Bournemouth.

According to Sky Sports, a relatively meager fee of £21.3 million was required to acquire the 24-year-old from the Championship.

Sooner or later some new blood will have to be introduced, the process having already started with the signing of Diogo Jota the last term from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
