Guus: Get me Wes - Hiddink tells Blues who to sign

Posted Tuesday, June 07, 2011 by The Sun

CHELSEA have joined the £30million chase for Inter Milan midfield star Wesley Sneijder - on the advice of Guus Hiddink.

The Blues are confident of securing Hiddink as their boss next week.

And the Dutchman has told them to outbid rivals Manchester United and City for compatriot Sneijder.

The playmaker, 27 this week, looks certain to quit Inter this summer and is eager to move to England.

United boss Alex Ferguson has been chasing him all year and regards Sneijder as the perfect Old Trafford replacement for Paul Scholes.

But Sneijder's £200,000-a-week wage demands could put him beyond United's reach, leaving Chelsea convinced they would be a more attractive option than City.

The Blues are waiting for Turkish FA chief Mahmut Ozgener to return to work next week before making an official approach for Hiddink, 64.

The Turks are resigned to losing Hiddink despite him having a year left on his deal as national coach, as the Blues are ready to shell out £4m to pay off his contract.

Meanwhile, Carlo Ancelotti - axed by Chelsea last month - has ruled himself out of the running for the vacancies at Aston Villa and Fulham.

The Italian said: "I am in no hurry to coach and I don't need to. I will take a year off to study how my colleagues work."
