10 Players Dick Advocaat Could Bring With Him To Sunderland

10. Ola Toivonen

The North East could be set for a major influx of talent from the Eredivisie this summer, with both Sunderland and Newcastle opting for Dutch managers - Dick Advocaat and Schteve McClaren. Swedish striker Ola Toivonen could be a name that interests Advocaat after the pair worked together at PSV during the 2012/13 season. Toivonen racked up a near '1 in 2' league record for PSV though refusing to sign a new contract saw him fall out of favour with the PSV top brass, out of Advocaat's control. He was sold to Rennes in January 2014 for a cut price deal, and while his best days may have already passed him, he's still a 28-year-old with time to make an impact on the Premier League.
