Chelsea are on the trail of Feyenoord starlet Jonathan de Guzman.
With just one year remaining on his contract, the Eredivisie leaders are resigned to losing the 21-year-old, who is valued at around £4million.
Able to play as a right winger or as an attacking midfielder, De Guzman has battled back impressively from a serious knee injury picked up just after the turn of the year.
Chelsea first considered a move for De Guzman two years ago and have monitored his progress ever since.
Their sporting director, Frank Arnesen, was in Holland at the weekend to witness the youngster score a stunning double in Feyenoord's 4-0 home win over Roda JC.
However, Chelsea will face competition from Valencia and Stuttgart for his signature.
Although Canadian born, De Guzman has a Dutch passport and has already represented his adopted country at Under 21 level.
He is understood to be in the reckoning for a place in Bert van Marwijk's squad for the World Cup next summer.
