Thijs Dallinga is a prolific Dutch striker whose rapid rise has made him one of the most exciting prospects in European football, now starring for Serie A's Bologna. Born on August 3, 2000, the 25-year-old stands at an imposing 190cm and is a complete forward, combining strength, intelligent movement, and a lethal finishing touch with both feet and his head. Dallinga's breakthrough came at Excelsior in the Dutch second division, where his goal-scoring exploits earned him a move to Toulouse in France. There, he was instrumental in their Coupe de France triumph and impressive Ligue 1 campaign, which attracted the attention of Bologna. His multi-million euro market value is a testament to his quality. A natural goal-poacher with excellent link-up play, Dallinga is now on the cusp of the Netherlands national team and looks destined for the very top of the game.
