Ex-Holland fullback Peeper: Liverpool ace Wijnaldum like a pit bull

Brighton midfielder Davy Propper won more praise after Holland's rout of Estonia.

Propper impressed as the Dutch won the their final Euros qualifier 5-0.

Pundit Marcel Peeper was impressed, though says the midfielder won't be a starter in next summer's Euros.

"He didn't jump out. Davy played more for Georginio Wijnaldum and Frenkie de Jong," he began.

"I am afraid that he will not be in the first eleven during the European Championship, but will be between numbers 12 and 16. There are more midfield candidates, not to mention Donny van de Beek."

On hat-trick hero Gini Wiljnaldum, of Liverpool, Holland international Peeper added: "Even against Estonia he makes an effort to make something beautiful out of it. He always thinks offensive and at the same time he remains a small pit bull in midfield."
