10 Players Dick Advocaat Could Bring With Him To Sunderland

9. Georginio Wijnaldum

Football Manager players' eyes will light up at the very mention of Georginio Wijnaldum. The attacking midfielder is a key member of PSV's team, but it was Advocaat who set him back on the right path after being played out of position by previous managers. He's got obvious talent, and that has merited a place in the Netherlands international setup, scoring the last goal in their 3-0 Third Place Playoff victory over Brazil at the 2014 World Cup. He has already been linked with a move to Newcastle, meaning a Sunderland move didn't seem too 'out there', but after winning the Eredivisie Player of the Year award, ahead of Manchester United new boy Memphis Depay, there'll no doubt be bigger fish swimming around for the midfielder who has declared he's ready to leave PSV.
