Former Chelsea player-manager Ruud Gullit has claimed that Louis van Gaal will replace Tim Sherwood at Tottenham Hotspur after the World Cup.
Van Gaal, who has made plain his desire to work in the English Premier League, stands down from his post as Holland coach after the World Cup, to be replaced by Guus Hiddink.

And Gullit claims he knows that a deal has been agreed between Spurs chairman Daniel Levy and the former Bayern Munich coach.
"I know for sure he was at Van Gaal's house, the [Spurs] chairman", Gullit told BBC Radio 5 live.

"I think it's a done deal, but you never know", he added.
