According to VoetbalPrimeur, Pröpper made these comments during an interview on Ziggo Sport's Rondo. The 18-year-old central defender has impressed his FC Twente teammates and was previously linked to FC Barcelona.

Pröpper believes that having Nijstad by his side makes his team come out of pressure almost always, thanks to the young defender's ability to dribble like Frenkie de Jong. He also thinks that Nijstad has a good future in Dutch football, citing his stability at just 18 years old.

Nijstad's potential has not gone unnoticed, with Wesley Sneijder advising him to gain more experience before making a move to a bigger club. Sneijder believes that Nijstad needs to develop more before being sent to a top club, to avoid criticism and potential disappointment.

FC Twente will continue to monitor Nijstad's development, with Pröpper's endorsement likely to boost his confidence.
