Arjen Robben wants to play alongside Bas Dost for Netherlands

Bayern Munch winger Arjen Robben hopes he can strike up a partnership with Wolfsburg's in-form Bas Dost for Netherlands.

Robben and Dost have both set their sights on this season's Bundesliga top-scorer prize -- the Torjagerkanone -- with the former having scored 16 goals and the latter hitting 11.

Dost's nine goals in his last five games have brought him to the attention of Netherlands coach Guus Hiddink, with the striker saying earlier this week that an international call-up would be "a dream."

"I am delighted that he's on a roll," Robben told Sky. "He deserves it, and he is a good lad. Maybe we can soon score goals together in the national team."

Hiddink could choose to call up Dost for the Euro 2016 qualifier against Turkey on March 28. The Wolfsburg attacker has previously only made a preliminary 32-man squad under Louis van Gaal ahead of a match against Belgium in August 2012.

Robben, meanwhile, also praised his Bayern coach Pep Guardiola, saying that the Spaniard is still helping him improve as a player despite being 31 years old.

"Normally, you'd think that things start going downhill once you are 30," Robben said. "But I have the feeling that I am still learning. Pep Guardiola made me better once again."
