Who will the Netherlands coach choose to join Depay in the attacking pair? Long Weghorst or the talented Malen?

The Czech Republic will play the Netherlands, who are still 100 percent, in the eighth round of the Euros. Depay was undoubtedly one of the key figures for the Oranjes at the championship, but he still doesn’t have an ideal partner in attack. There are two options in the game.

Wout Weghorst

When he transferred to Wolfsburg from AZ Alkmaar in 2018, nobody in the German club’s management certainly thought he would dig the Wolves out of the Champions League.

The feared Bundesliga cannonballer has had a third successful year in Germany. This season, he is only behind Lewandowski, Silva and Haaland in the German competition’s scoring charts with 20 goals.

The nearly two-metre tall striker is the classic prototype of a penalty killer. On the other hand, he lags behind in speed and interplay. So far at the European Championships, he has played 176 minutes and scored one goal in his first game against Ukraine.

Donyell Malen

One of the biggest talents in European football is currently at the service of Dutch giants PSV Eindhoven, but according to the renowned Transfermarkt website, he shouldn’t be far away from a move to the Premier League.

Interest is coming mainly from Liverpool and West Ham. It is therefore possible that he could also play with Czech national team players Tomas Soucek and Vladimir Coufal next season.

In Roger Schmidt’s team he managed to score 19 goals in the league. he added 5 goals in the Europa League. His style of play is based mainly on speed, dribbling and great technique. At the Euros, he recorded two assists in 92 minutes played.
