The Holland boss has nothing but praise for the young winger and feels he has a bright future ahead of him
Netherlands coach Guus Hiddink believes that PSV attacker Memphis Depay has the potential to become his country's best player.
The promising youngster, 20, rose to prominence this summer with a string of fine performances at the World Cup after previously impressing in the Eredivisie and Hiddink has little doubt the winger has a bright future ahead of him.
"Depay has the potential to become Netherlands' best player," Hiddink told NOS.
"I've noticed that he has even more potential than I first thought now that I'm working with him.
"He still has plenty of room for improvement. I first thought that it was hard to approach him, but I was wrong. He is incredibly interested and keen to learn.
"I can't say yet whether he will start against Czech Republic, but that's definitely an option."
Depay has made 10 international appearances so far, scoring twice in the process.
