Dutch great Gullit hails Brighton midfielder Propper: Ideal De Jong partner

Dutch great Ruud Gullit was full of praise for Brighton midfielder Davy Propper after Holland's draw with Northern Ireland.

Gullit felt the Oranje didn't grab control of the Euros qualifier until Propper was introduced.

"I thought Frenkie was really good in the first half. When Pröpper came on, Frenkie started to play on the left, and then he was actually far less in the game. But the strange thing is: it was just right," said Gullit on Ziggo Sport.

"I thought the two of them were really good at playing together, so they got control over the game and it was played just professionally. They also gave each other those balls, and they just dared to play."
