Klaas-Jan Huntelaar started his career at PSV Eindhoven, where he made only one appearance in 2002 before loan stints at De Graafschap and AGOVV.

His most prolific goal-scoring came at Ajax Amsterdam, before Real Madrid and then current club AC Milan snapped him up.

He is rumoured to be heading to the English Premiership after the World Cup.

Huntelaar’s international career got off to an impressive start with the Dutch Under-21 side, winning the UEFA European Under-21 Golden Player award before working his way up to the senior side in 2006.
