Waine on Radio sport said he had offers in Europe as well. Can't remember who said the u20s isn't a great window to get scouted from, but they are being proven wrong!
Probably me. Prior to Poland, not many had been recruited direct from U20 WCs.
Class of 2019 did great, and a welcome highlight for NZ international football, in an otherwise pretty gloomy year.
However so far you have Bell likely to be signed by a 1st Division club in Norway, McCowatt will go somewhere (though if anything his star dimmed a little in Polska), and a bunch of Ole guys sitting at a Swedish 4th Div club, or a Danish 3rd Div club. The Ole guys were all going to Europe regardless of the U20 WC.
For Waine to stay with the Nix, rather than try Europe, the offers may also have been at a lower league Scandy level. I imagine he has a UK passport (Scottish born), so like say Cacace he has time on his side re Europe.
