Chelsea aim on Jonathan de Guzman

Arnesen watched 21-year-old forward De Guzman score twice for the Rotterdam side in their 4-0 home win over Roda JC at the weekend.

And Arnesen believes Chelsea can sign the Dutch under-21 international on £4 million deal.

De Guzman, first watched by Chelsea two years ago, only has one year left on his contract. Chelsea signed Salomon Kalou from the same club three years ago.

Meanwhile, David Beckham has been linked with a surprise reunion with Carlo Ancelotti at Chelsea.

Beckham was a success under Ancelotti at AC Milan, and former England manager Glenn Hoddle believes the pair could again work together at Stamford Bridge.

"Ancelotti used him well at Milan, so who knows? He could end up at Chelsea. I think he’d be under the nose of Capello, and at Chelsea with Ancelotti there...he’s worked with him before," said Hoddle.

“He’s obviously got to look at whether David can add something to his squad. But it’s not beyond the realms of possibility.

“All he’s got to do is find a home for a short period of time where he’s at a standard where the manager’s happy that he’s shown he’s capable of playing against the best in the world. What better place is there for him to do that than in the Premier League?”
