He has potential, but in the scope of Dutch strikers he is kind of

more in the promise level of a 24 year old David Noojunt than a 24 year old Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Ahead of him in the Dutch national side are at least:

Dirk Kuyt
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar
Robin van Persie
Jeremain Lens
Ruben Schaken
Eljero Elia
Luuk De Jong
Ibrahim Affelay

and perhaps even my personal fave, Bas Dost.

Although I am aware that a few of those are not out and out strikers, but the Dutch always play with a 3 pronged attack.

Don't get me wrong. He could be an awesome signing, but let's just remember if we're lucky we will be getting a Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. Not a Dennis Bergkamp or a Ruud van Nistelrooy. Not that I'd say no to a JFH!
