Turkish-born, ethnic Armenian forward Aras Ozbiliz, who plays for Amsterdam’s Ajax, hopes to play for the Dutch national team. Ozbiliz admitted this himself in an interview with Dutch publication Algemeen Dagblad.
“If I can grow and I’m given the chance, then I choose Orange [the Dutch team],” he said, according to the Ajax official website.
