Emnes also helped Holland U17’s to third place in the 2005 FIFA Under 17’s World Championship scoring two goals in the process
Marvin Emnes was brought in as Gareth Southgate’s first signing of the 2008 summer transfer window for £3.2 million.
On his arrival in the northeast, expectations for the exciting youngster were high, especially after being rewarded with player of the season award for 2007/08 with Sparta Rotterdam (thanks in no small part to goal scoring run of eight goals in his final ten games of the season).
Emnes has the blistering pace to set the Premier League alight and scored on his Middlesbrough debut against Yeovil in the League Cup at the Riverside in August 2008.
