Memphis Depay to leave PSV Eindhoven in the summer

PSV Eindhoven coach Phillip Cocu expects to lose highly-rated winger Memphis Depay in the summer.

PSV Eindhoven coach Phillip Cocu has conceded that he is expecting to lose reported Manchester United target Memphis Depay in the summer.

The 21-year-old has netted 15 Eredivisie goals this season and speculation is rife that a reunion with Louis van Gaal - whom he played under for the Netherlands - is on the cards.

Depay has also been linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur, and Cocu admits that it will be hard to keep the in-form winger beyond this season.

He told Sport Express: "That's unfortunate, but on the other hand, we must as a club be proud because we have trained him.

"At some point, it becomes clear that he is ready for the next step. And yes, I think he's going to leave PSV after this season."

Depay, whom Cocu compared to Arjen Robben recently, is contracted to the club until 2018.
