Feyenoord are stepping up on their interest in Willem II left-back Mitchell Dijks, who is also being chased by Celtic.
Dijks has impressed with his performances in the Eredivisie this term and Feyenoord are one of a number of clubs keen on snapping up the 22-year-old.
Scottish champions Celtic are also in the race, but face fierce opposition for the Netherlands Under-21 international.
According to Dutch daily De Telegraaf, Feyenoord have decided to accelerate their interest in Dijks after being convinced he is the right man to fill their left-back spot.
Willem II are thought to have quoted around €1.3m for Dijks, a sum which Feyenoord are ready to pay to take him to De Kuip.
