Dutch football tactician Mike Snoei has pointed out that PSV Eindhoven wingers Johan Bakayoko and Ismael Saibari  are not on the same level as Noni Madueke and Cody Gakpo.  

The England U21 international of Nigerian descent switched to Chelsea in the January transfer window, while Netherlands World Cup star Gakpo was acquired by Liverpool. 

PSV will receive in the region of 80 million euros plus add-ons from the Premier League clubs for the two talented youngsters. 

Making reference to last Thursday's Europa League meeting between Sevilla and PSV, Telstar coach Snoei noted that PSV Eindhoven center forward Luuk de Jong was left isolated in attack as neither Bakayoko nor Saibari could feed him with inviting balls. 

PSV have a mountain to climb to progress to the last sixteen of the Europa League after losing 3-0 to the La Liga side at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán.

"I hear things like 'miracle'... Seville is not that special this season either. They are also searching. I think there are opportunities for PSV," Snoei was quoted as saying by Voetbal Primeur. 

"Especially those sides. We have been very spoiled with Gakpo and Madueke,"

Snoei considers Johan Bakayoko and Ismael Saibari inadequate for the task of bringing out the best in De Jong. 

Madueke and Gakpo registered 64 assists between them during their time at PSV Eindhoven.
