It can be an awkward situation trying to seal a first date but Ajax's talented forward David Neres changed up the game when he decided to message German model Kira Winona.
The 24-year-old, who is clearly not short of confidence, has told the story of how he managed to convince Winona to go out with him in an interview with Het Parool.
"I didn't have to do much to get my current girlfriend," he said.

"I saw her on Instagram and I send her a DM with: 'I am David Neres. Come to me.' That was enough for a date."
In the interview, Neres also said that "German women apparently love Brazilian men" so he casually sent her a message and the rest is well, history.
Judging by Winona's Instagram page, the pair are still going strong as Neres continues to impress for Ajax.

He has made 20 appearances for the club in all competitions this season, scoring four goals.
Neres, who famously gave Real Madrid's defensive line a headache in the Champions League after producing a moment of brilliance against Dani Carvajal, is still impressing under Erik ten Hag.

And it's clear he's loving life off the pitch, as well.
