Raphael van der Vaart frolics on holiday with new blonde girlfriend Estavana Polman in Spain with Holland not in Euro 2016

The former Tottenham and Real Madrid ace, who now plays for Real Betis, is dating the Dutch handball star

With no Holland at the Euros this year, life is a beach for Raphael van der Vaart.

The former Spurs ace, who joined Real Betis on a free transfer last summer, seems to be enjoying his end-of-season break after being spotted in Spain with his new girlfriend, professional handball star Estavana Polman, and his son Damian.

Van der Vaart can be seen canoodling with the shapely blonde – 10 years his junior – on the sun-lounger and in the sea.

The 33-year-old Van der Vaart split with his wife of eight years, supermodel Sylvie, in 2013.

After the divorce he began dating her best friend, Sabia Boulahrouz, although the pair claim to be on better terms now.

Holland failed to advance to the Euros after finishing fourth in their qualifying group behind Czech Republic, Iceland and Turkey – it is the first time since 1984 that they failed to reach the finals of a European Championships.

They then won the tournament four years later in 1988. How Van der Vaart and Co will hope for a similar outcome in 2020.
