Sherif performed well in his latest games, and though Henk Timmer is currently a regular in the Holland squad, the young Pharaoh is keen on taking his place in the line-up. With Edwin van der Sar injured in the Netherlands' last game, Timmer stood between the posts for his nation.

"Henk Timmer still is a little ahead of Sherif; he is still the first man for me," Koeman is quoted as saying on EP's partner site Netwerk.to.

"But Sherif is coming," he added.


"He is anxious to take over the position of Henk.

"That is a perfect situation, so they keep each other sharp."
