The Dutch boss has conceded that the coveted midfielder will be on his way out of Eindhoven this summer, with a list of clubs across Europe ready to bid for the youngster

PSV head coach Dick Advocaat believes that Netherlands vice-captain Kevin Strootman must leave the Eredivisie this summer in order to progress his career.

Advocaat admitted that while the Dutch club would miss such an influential player, it is necessary for Strootman’s development that he moves – particularly into English football.

A host of Premier League clubs are said to be interested in the 23-year-old’s signature, including Liverpool and Tottenham who have reportedly been monitoring him for the past two seasons.

“For PSV it would be good if he stays, but for Strootman himself it’s better to leave,” Advocaat told De Telegraaf.

“He’s the reserve captain of the Dutch national squad and PSV will make another step next season. This guy fits everywhere. He’s a fantastic player because he knows exactly what his qualities are.

“[He would be good for] Liverpool and Tottenham, but I think he’s also good enough for Manchester City and Manchester United.

“Strootman is as good as Gareth Barry. He’s a very useful player for every team. Especially when he’s surrounded by better players.”

The midfielder, who joined from Utrecht in 2011, has scored five goals and assisted 11 more in the Eredivisie this season, making him the joint-fifth highest assist-maker in Europe.

Brendan Rodgers’ side have kept a clean sheet in four of their last five outings and our tipster believes that the visitors are value to claim three points against Martin Jol’s men

The Premier League edges closer to its conclusion this weekend and Brendan Rodgers’ Liverpool will be hoping to extend their six-match unbeaten run when they travel to face Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon.

The Reds will be without key duo Steven Gerrard and Luis Suarez through injury and suspension respectively and the visitors are chalked up at a juicy 10/11 (1.91) to claim victory in west London.

Fulham are in dismal form ahead of this weekend’s clash, having collected just one point from their last six matches which makes that price a very appealing one, even without Gerrard and Suarez for the Reds.

Martin Jol’s men have lost each of their last three fixtures at Craven Cottage and the home side are available at 3/1 (4.0) to reverse that trend with victory over the Reds.

The same firm go 12/5 (3.40) that both sides are forced to settle for a share of the spoils.

It should be noted that Liverpool have been held to a goalless draw in three of their last five matches while Fulham have failed to score in four of their last six games.

Should the match end 0-0, Bet365 will refund all correct score, half time/full time and scorecast bets placed before kick-off as part of the firm’s fantastic “bore draw” special offer.

Liverpool smashed six past Newcastle United at St James’ Park on their last away day but this promises to be a much tighter affair and the 11/10 (2.10) quote from Bet365 for fewer than three goals to be scored looks to represent decent value here.

Brendan Rodgers’ side have kept four clean sheets in their last five outings so the 11/4 (3.75) quote from Bet365 for Liverpool to win to nil is excellent value and should be eagerly snapped up this weekend.

Those seeking bigger prices may be enticed by Bet365’s correct score market and the chunky 10/1 (11.0) quote for the Reds to win 2-0 is a price which is sure to attract plenty of support from punters.

Have a pre-match Correct Score, Half-Time/Full-Time or Scorecast bet on ANY match and, if the game finishes 0-0, Bet365 will refund all losing bets on these markets!

The successful coach believes that several clubs will try and lure the Dane away from the Amsterdam ArenA in the summer transfer window

Frank de Boer is resigned to losing Christian Eriksen in the summer transfer window as clubs such as Liverpool, Borussia Dortmund and Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Ajax playmaker.

The Denmark international has a contract with the Eredivisie champions until June 2014, but De Boer has little doubt that bids will come in for the 21-year-old at the end of the season.

“Clubs do not know much about football if no offers come in for Christian this summer,” the Ajax coach was quoted as saying by De Telegraaf.

De Boer remained coy on whether Dortmund have already made a formal approach for Eriksen but admitted that he thinks the Dane would fit in well at the German giants.

“I wouldn’t say it if [Jurgen] Klopp had given me a call about Christian, but the Bundesliga would suit him.”

Sporting director Marc Overmars, meanwhile, revealed that several clubs have been in touch with Ajax over a potential move for Eriksen.

“A number of clubs have made an informal approach for Chris.”

Eriksen has been a key figure at Ajax this season, netting 10 goals in 32 Eredivisie appearances.
