Dutch legend Ruud Gullit says Davy Klaassen needs to get out of Everton.

Gullit is sorry to see former Ajax captain Klaassen struggling in England this season.

"He is not playing and that is just a pity for such a boy," Gullit told Ziggo Sport.

"I think he is a player who can very well play football in a good footballing team, he often goes for goal and scores a lot, but he is not someone who takes the chestnuts out of the fire for you, he can not do that.

"At Everton it just did not work at all, so he became superfluous, and for him it's a shame he's still there."
