Early life

He was born in Nyírlugos in Hungary, and he was known among the villagers, as kid who spends most of his time at the local football ground. His talents were quite early discovered, and was signed by Olasz Focisuli which was a football club for young talents and was a sure way towards Debreceni VSC. When he was 17 years old he played for Létavértes on loan from DVSC in NB3 (the local third division). Dzsudzsák made his debut for Debreceni VSC on 2005.

Club career

In 2007, Dzsudzsák was one of the most promising Hungarian football players in the Borsodi Liga. He was scouted by AFC Ajax during the year. It has since been revealed that an unnamed English Championship team had put in an offer for Dzsudzsák. On August 30 2007 it was revealed that 3 English clubs and two Italian sides had offers accepted for the 20-year-old.[citation needed]

PSV scout Piet de Visser stated that Dzsudzsák "is an incredible talent. He is fast, good in the combination, can pass his man and give a good cross. You don't see them like this very often anymore. He is a modern left-winger".
