Dundee United new capture Timothy van der Meulen says he wants to emulate Ghana midfielder Prince Buaben who has been a huge success since joining the Tangerines from Ajax four seasons ago.
\nThe 20-year is also joining from Ajax would be thrown into the fray in Dundee United\u2019s defence of the Scottish Cup at Hamilton on Saturday. And van der Meulen says he will be very happy if is able to follow the footsteps of Buaben and impress on his debut.
\n\u201cI knew of Prince before I came here as he was also at Ajax as a youngster,\u201d said Van der Meulen”. \u201cHe had done very well in Holland and is a really good player. From what I have been told, he is an important guy for United. Hopefully, I can do just as well as him in my time here.\u201d
\n\u201cThat has to be my aim, although I am a defender and he is a midfielder so we are different types. \u201cI want to make a big impact and this is a chance I want to take with both hands. I know I must improve as well in certain areas but that\u2019s what I have to do when I am here.\u201d
\nThe Dutch youngster said moved to the Tannadice Park not only for first team action reasons but also because of his likeness for Buaben.
\n\u201cThe reason I came here is this is a chance for regular first-team football and, like Prince, I have had a very good education at Ajax.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
