Real Madrid's Schuster: Huntelaar like Cruyff, Van Basten

Real Madrid coach Bernd Schuster has openly declared his interest in Ajax striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.

The Holland international is under consideration by Real ahead of the summer market and Schuster declared: "Dutch football is very well known for exporting players of such class. He is the type of player which any team in the world would like to have."

"From what I know, the level of Huntelaar is comparable with players of the stature of Cruyff, Van Basten and Van Nistelrooy."

Schuster added: "Regarding next season, he certainly would enter my plans."
