Holland and PSV Eindhoven talent Kevin Strootman will only decide his future after the European Under-21 Championship, his agent has insisted.
Strootman, who is currently starring for the Jong Oranje in Israel, is fast becoming one of the hottest properties in the summer transfer market, with persistent suitors from England confirmed as giants Arsenal and Manchester United, while Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur have also sent talent spotters to take in the midfielder’s charms.
There is interest from elsewhere too, with Italian powerhouses AC Milan and, more recently, Napoli, listed as fans.
PSV Eindhoven are reluctant to lose Strootman but, with the midfielder firmly in the shop window at the European Under-21 Championship in Israel, may find it hard to prevent his departure.

But, for now, nothing has been decided, Strootman’s agent Chiel Dekker insists.
"We will decide where to go at the end of the European Under-21 Championship", he told Radio CRC.
And pushed on Napoli’s interest specifically, Dekker struck a happy note while admitting that there has been no concrete contact with Rafael Benitez’s men.
"We are delighted with interest from Napoli, but at the moment there has been no contact", he said.
Strootman’s current contract with PSV Eindhoven runs until 2016.
