Hard worker with a good shot. A strong midfield tackler, Cocu's defensive skills led PSV coach Advocaat to use him on the left side of midfield to support the strikers. Was linked to both Barcelona and Italy's Inter Milan, and has finally picked the Spanish club, signing a three year contract. Is expected to be a regular player in the Dutch team in the World Cup finals in France this summer.
