Dutch midfielder keen to be playing football on a regular basis

On-loan Everton midfielder Royston Drenthe has confirmed his interest in rejoining his former club Feyenoord and is hoping for a call. Drenthe originally left Feyenoord for Real Madrid in 2007, but he has been unable to establish himself during his time at the Santiago Bernabeu. He has spent this season on loan at Everton, but the 25-year-old has started only 10 Premier League games for David Moyes' side. His time on Merseyside has been soured after he was dropped for the FA Cup semi-final with Liverpool due to disciplinary reasons and has not been picked since, while he has also been left out of the Netherlands' squad for Euro 2012. With his future now up in the air Drenthe has admitted he wants to return to his home-town club Feyenoord, who have qualified for the Champions League, claiming he would even call them to initiate a move. "I want to do what I like and that's play football. In addition Rotterdam is my city," he told RTV Rijnmond. "Feyenoord have not called me yet, but of course I would not mind if they did. Maybe I'll call them myself."
