Holland caretaker coach Fred Grim is urging Chelsea defender Nathan Ake not to commit to Ivory Coast.
Ake qualifies for the Elephants thanks to his father and is wanted by new Ivory Coast coach Marc Wilmots.
Grim, however, said: "My first reaction is that I would regret it if he chooses Ivory Coast.
"Nathan is potentially a Dutch national team player. Not for nothing has he played in all Oranje youth teams, and he was there for all levels of the juniors. He is also closely monitored for the Dutch team.
"Not for nothing at a young age did he leave Feyenoord for England.
"Only sorry that he is at an absolute top club like Chelsea, but plays little. It is precisely at times when you thought he was doing well on loan at Watford and Bournemouth, Chelsea took him back and he's often ended up on the bench."
