Liverpool, Everton and Tottenham are hoping to go double Dutch this ­summer.

The three clubs have ­received glowing reports about the two new central defenders in Holland's ­national team.

Stefan de Vrij, 21, and 20 year-old Bruno Martins Indi both play for at ­Feyenoord.

They would cost ­£25million in a ­package deal this summer.

De Vrij knows about the huge Premier League ­interest and has told his club that he is not ready to sign a new deal.

He said: "I want to see what is happening now.

"I will focus on playing for the club and for Holland, but I won't sit down with the club now about a new ­contract."

The duo have been first choice in the Dutch ­national team under Louis van Gaal and have replaced ­Everton's Johnny Heitinga and ­Feyenoord's other central defender Joris Mathijsen.The older duo were in the last World Cup Finals and European ­Championship for ­Holland.

But Van Gaal believes that De Vrij and Martins Indi will be the new stars of next year's World Cup bid in ­Brazil.

The Premier League trio will all be present at today's game between Feyennord and PSV Eindhoven.

And De Vrij has been ­captain of Feyennord since he was 19.
