Lutsharel Geertruida I assume will be the player you're thinking of - but he isn't a forward. What makes him alluring for some clubs is he can play in a number of the defensive positions. He has featured as a right-back, a centre-back and as a defensive mid and still only 23 so many years left in the tank for him.
6'1 and decent at attacking set pieces (does get goals this way) as well as being known for positional build-up play and being forward-thinking with passes.
He has been linked with Man City and Arsenal at various points which says a bit about the "mould" of player he is but I'd be fibbing if I said I had watched him loads - Eredivisie games aren't high on my priority list and my nothing-to-do-with-football life is relentless now (mostly in a good way) so I think I'll be taking in less of the sport going forward, though we will see.
