PSV manager Phillip Cocu has accepted that Memphis Depay will leave the club at the end of the season.
Tottenham pursued the Dutch international in the summer and saw an offer of £10million plus Nacer Chadli for Depay rejected.
The 21-year-old has scored 15 goals in 19 league starts this season and added a further six goals in the Europa League.
PSV eventually held onto Depay last summer, despite further interest from Manchester and Newcastle, but Cocu admits the attacker is ready to leave Philips Stadion.
When asked about interest in Depay, Cocu told Russia's 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.
He added: "Whether he can be as good as Arjen Robben? I think so.
"They are different players, but they are both fast and have a good shot. And both always have the urge to learn."
