2. Dries Mertens
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PS-_6KrwCWY Another Eredivisie player on my list is Dries Mertens. The 25 year old is a Belgian international and currently plays for PSV Eindhoven. Many English fans may be slightly familiar with the name Mertens, as he was the one who pushed Gary Cahill and broke his jaw in the friendly leading up to the Euro competition. That aside, Mertens is a prolific goalscorer for PSV Eindhoven, scoring 21 goals from 33 appearances for the Dutch club. Merten's exceptional ball skill and blistering pace has drawn interest from many European clubs this summer. With Liverpool's Brendan Rodgers, leading the chase. Newcastle United should be looking at the Belgian winger, for similar reasons as I mentioned earlier for Remy. Having forwards who employ different talents and attributes to choose from, can be key to progressing through cup matches and having a strong showing in the league. It is thought that a offer of 15 million Euros could persuade the PSV Eindhoven management to let the pint-sized winger go. But the temptation of playing in the coveted Premier League could sway Merten's hand.

But overall he is just a boy, writing in front of the world asking it to love him.
