Chelsea keeping tabs on Dutch World Cup star; Buffon could leave Juve for Roma

Chelsea keeping tabs on Dutch World Cup star

Chelsea are readying bid for Ajax full-back Gregory van der Wiel, according to The Mirror.

With Jose Bosingwa set to leave the Stamford Bridge at the end of the season, the Blues are desperate to sign a world-class right-back and thus complete their back line.

Carlo Ancelotti has reportedly singled out Ajax full-back Gregory van der Wiel as the number one target and it is thought that the Holland international would be tempted to leave Amsterdam Arena at the end of the season.

Chelsea have already made enquires about the availability of the Dutch star and the Blues are expected to step up their interest in the coming days.

The 23-year-old has enjoyed a rapid rise to stardom ever since he was handed a first team debut in 2007 and he was an important part of Bert van Marwijk’s side that reached the World Cup final in South Africa.

Impressive technical qualities and a great composure with which he plays the game make Van der Wiel one of the best full-backs in Europe, with his attacking runs often wreaking havoc upon opposition defenders.

Despite his fragile age, the Dutch international already has a huge experience at the biggest stage and he is expected to fit right into the Chelsea squad.

Buffon could leave Juve for Roma

Gianluigi Buffon has yet to decide whether he will stay on at Juve after this season ends, while being the subject of interest from Roma.

The 33-year-old keeper has had his doubts over the course in which Juventus are going and has hinted on several occasions that he could leave the club in the near future.

The Bianconeri are hoping Buffon will accept a significant pay cut to his current contract, under which he is thought to be earning around

Arsenal Likely to Complete Signing of Dutch International Who Confirms He Wants Gunners Move

Arsenal face competition from Juventus for Ajax goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg.

Tuttosport says Juve are ready to cash in on Gigi Buffon to fund their own transfer plans this summer.

A host of keepers are now under consideration as Buffon’s replacement, including Salvatore Sirigu (Palermo), Federico Marchetti (Cagliari) and Stekelenburg.

But the Dutchman revealed to Tuttosport: “If an offer from Arsenal arrives, I will leave.”

SOURCE: Yahoo Eurosport

Well if indeed that quote is accurate, and it is all over the web, then surely that is a pretty damn good indication that the Ajax man wants to move to the Emirates, a move that will surely go some way to helping the North London club from resolving their keeper crisis.

Manuel Almunia was of course the first choice keeper at the Emirates when the season began but a succession of clangers led to the Spaniard being dropped and replaced by the improved, but still inconsistent, Polish international Lukasz Fabianski until he fell foul to injury. Then in came youngster Wojciech Szczesny who looked decent but then made huge errors before also getting injured. Fourth choice keeper Vito Mannone is out on loan and also sidelined.

Arsene Wenger has therefore set his sights on bringing in a keeper and the likes of Mark Schwarzer and Pepe Reina have been mentioned heavily over the past year but news that Dutch international Maarten Stekelenburg is interested in a move to the Gunners will surely lead to 28 year old becoming the favourite to become the next number one keeper at the Emirates Stadium.

Dutch Cup: FC Twente 1 FC Utrecht 0

FC Twente advanced to the Dutch Cup final with a 1-0 triumph over 10-man FC Utrecht on Wednesday.

Austrian striker Marc Janko proved the hero for Twente in the 77th minute, finishing off Luuk de Jong’s clever interception with a deft strike between the legs of Utrecht goalkeeper Michel Vorm.

Janko’s 15th goal of the season was a cruel blow for the visitors, who had done well to keep a clean sheet after losing right-back Tim Cornelisse to a second caution in just the 20th minute.

Cornelisse was sent off for striking Janko with his elbow as both players challenged for a header, five minutes after first entering referee Pol van Boekel’s book.

Twente will face the winner of Thursday’s semi-final between defending champions Ajax and second-division club RKC Waalwijk.

Juventus keeping tabs on Bojan Krkic; Liverpool readying bid for Dutch midfield maestro

Juventus keeping tabs on Bojan Krkic

Juventus are preparing a summer move for Barcelona youngster Bojan Krkic, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.

The 20-year-old has seen limited playing time at Camp Nou after his breakthrough season and he could decide to leave the club at the end of the season.

Krkic has a contract until 2015 and is reportedly happy to wait for his chance in Pep Guardiola’s side, but could be tempted to leave if the right offer comes in.

Juventus have shown interest in the Barca hotshot as they look to further reinforce their attack, with the Bianconeri pondering a summer move for the striker.

The Old Lady plans to get rid of Vincenzo Iaquinta, Amauri and Jorge Martinez, thus leaving space for a new forward.

There is no doubt Krkic would be a great signing for Juventus, provided he is given enough playing time at Olimpico, although Juve could face stiff competition from Liverpool.

Dutch pair thrilled with Milan debut

New signings Mark van Bommel and Urby Emanuelson were happy to be put in the mix in AC Milan’s Coppa Italia win over Sampdoria on Wednesday.

The pair had only come to the San Siro during the week, with van Bommel not even training prior to appearing under manager Massimiliano Allegri, while Emanuelson had a training run with his team-mates prior to the hit-out.

The Dutchmen played all 90 minutes in the 2-1 victory, courtesy of Alexandre Pato’s brace, and Emanuelson said it was a baptism of fire to kick off his career at the club.

“The first game was a tough match. About the trainer, he spoke with me a lot in the last two days. I trained one time with team, and I did a lot of tactical movements – how I have to perform in the game, so I think that’s a good quality of the coach the players they helped me a lot, talked with me, they wished me good luck, and they were happy with my performance yesterday, so am I, it was a good start,” the defender said.

Van Bommel said it was a whirlwind 24 hours leading into the Coppa Italia quarter-final, but he was happy he could settle down into the Milan midfield after making his debut.

“For me it was a little bit strange of course. I didn’t train with the team. One day before the match I was in Munich. We negiotated the contract, everything went really well, really quick,” van Bommel said.

“I was glad that I was playing yesterday. And I have to make a big compliment to Mr Galliani, to the team and to the trainer as well. They made me a part of the Milan family, it’s not so easy when you are come so quick to a club but I feel really well, now we’re going to recover and we’re going to play on saturday again, so it’s really a quick life, but I’m happy that I’m here.”
