Pierre van Hooijdonk's son, Sydney, is reportedly attracting interest from his old club Nottingham Forest along with Swansea and Sheffield Wednesday.
The 20-year-old striker has been in lethal form for second division Dutch side NAC Breda but could leave for free in the January transfer window thanks to a clause in his contract.
That could see him emulate his father by moving to English football with Forest, Swansea or Sheffield Wednesday, reports The Sun.
He is said to have turned down a contract extension at Breda in order to get a move next month.
With eight goals in 12 games so far this season, Sydney appears to have the potential to be just as prolific as his more illustrious namesake.
Van Hooijdonk senior joined Forest from Celtic in 1997 and scored 36 goals in 71 games during his time at the City Ground.
Most of those came as he helped his side to the First Division title and promotion at the first time of asking after he was unable to prevent their relegation.
It ended acrimoniously for the Dutch international when he went on strike to force a move, with Forest going back down in bottom place once he eventually returned.
But that bitter ending does not appear to have put Sydney off playing in England, with the youngster keen to play in the Premier League in the future.
'I just love that competition, and it's also fine if I don't get there until my 30th birthday,' he told Voetbalzone last month. 'It doesn't have to go fast.
'In terms of big teams there, that club [Liverpool] is the one I like the best, but I can also enjoy a Crystal Palace or clubs from the Championship.
'As long as we really live with the supporters, as it happens with NAC.
'I absolutely don't want to play for a boring club. That just doesn't suit me.'
The youngster impressed for Breda's under-19 and under-21 sides before his move to the senior team and was linked with a move away last summer.
He ended up signing a new contract then but now looks set on leaving the team where his father also had two fruitful spells.
In the same interview, he revealed the main lesson he had learned from the former Celtic, Forest and Feyenoord frontman.
'The most important thing I learned from him was mentality,' he said.
'Like me, he was never the great talent, but he made it to the Dutch national team and played 46 times for the Oranje.'
