Republic of Ireland Under-21 manager Don Givens has advised clubs short of wingers to take a look at Wes Houlihan.
Shelbourne player Houlihan was Givens' man of the match in last night's 3-2 defeat to Switzerland.
"I would recommend him to any club looking for a wide player," said Givens.
"He is magnificent and improving all the time. I can see a huge improvement since he joined us six months ago."
Givens admitted he was very disappointed with the manner of Ireland's defeat at Buckley Park, Kilkenny. Ireland led 2-0 after eight minutes through Andy Reid and Liam Miller but then conceded three goals, meaning they remain pointless in European Championship Group 10.
"It's very disappointing and all the players are gutted," said Givens.
"We played far better than we did in Russia but individual mistakes cost us. We gave away a silly goal before half-time and then their equaliser was because of a lack of concentration."
"I felt at that stage that they were more up for it and I wasn't that surprised when they got the third," he added.
"We are still lacking in a bit of professionalism and concentration."
The manager defended his decision not to try and defend the 2-0 lead and instead push for victory.
"I'm here to develop players and it's no use me asking creative players to start defending - that doesn't develop them at all.
"People are obsessed with results but, at this level, they are not as important."
