Tijjani Reijnders has had more success in his international career in the past two years than he has with AC Milan, but that could change in the coming months.

As reported by Calciomercato.com, there are ingredients in the current Milan team that match up best with the players that he excels with for the Netherlands.

Reijnders got two goals and an assist for Ronald Koeman’s team in the recent international window and has cemented his place as one of the most important players in the team.

Has been playing at the centre in a 4-3-3 which is a formation that Paulo Fonseca could soon switch to with Milan in an effort to halt the poor form.

One of the ways that Reijnders has played so well in this role is the link-up with Joshua Zirkzee, who has dropped deep when playing as the striker and helped to link up play. This is something that Alvaro Morata could certainly do, with Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao on the flanks.

Morata cannot play in every single game, but Reijnders occasionally has Wout Weghorst in front of him and his style of play is similar to that of Tammy Abraham, so Reijnders could be comfortable with either of Milan’s main strikers.
