One of the PSV star's former coaches and an ex-team-mate have offered an insight into his early career development
Denzel Dumfries' former Barendrecht youth coach Lesley Esajas has explained how the Dutch star's rise from non-league football to the European Championship began, revealing he used to turn down fries and mayonnaise in the squad canteen.
Dumfries is being linked with a number of top clubs across Europe after his impressive start to Euro 2020 with the Netherlands, including German champions Bayern Munich.
Esajas hasn't been surprised by his impact, having seen the PSV right-back show signs of having the necessary discipline to reach the highest level of the game when playing in the Tweede Divisie - Dutch football's third tier - when he was still a youngster.
