Chelsea considering mega-money swoop for Ajax ace

Chelsea have stepped up their interest in Christian Eriksen and will send a scout to this summer's European Under-21 Championship to check his progress.

The Ajax midfielder was the name on everyone's lips after England's friendly with Denmark back in February as he ran the show against Fabio Capello's men.

Eriksen is seen as the hottest prospect in the Eredivisie and would cost a fortune this summer as his contract runs until 2014.

Money, however, is no object at Stamford Bridge and Guus Hiddink - who is expected to move to Chelsea in some capacity this summer - is said to be keen on a string of young stars, of which Eriksen is one.

The 19-year-old was wanted by Liverpool

earlier in the season but Ajax were unwilling to do business. But now Chelsea have joined the chase, the Dutch club are mindful they could fetch a huge sum if they choose to cash in on him this close season.

I hope that's true

Very exciting prospect! Bring in youth!

[Peace. 4,352]

I doubt he will come back here... Though, it would be an interesting sign.

Lately a lot of money yielded a playmaker - Kaka, Pastore, Sneijder, Eriksen

Eriksen is a Left Winger right? I mean LM/LWM? If so, if Guus comes, and gets the potential targets means - 4 dutch players or atleast 3 - VDW, PVA, Sneijder/Eriksen

I don't think he will be coming to Chelsea or England for that matter. Do you guys remember when his dad was bashing on Chelsea back in March???

He is still a teenager, hopefully he is still in his 'rebellious phase' and joins Chelsea just to spite his father.

He should stay at Ajax for two more years

Good one. I hope you are right, but tbh I don't trust the board. They will find a way to ship him to HSV

[LDN Blue 7,903]

I'd be very surprised if he comes back to us.

[milllz 43]

is he a playmaker? havnt seen much of him tbh

[LDN Blue 7,903]

I think he's a winger.. Not sure actually.

He's a CAM, but can play LW if necessary. I can't see this happening, which is a shame as I personally rate him very highly.

sounds interesting !

hope we can do more than just produce rumors !!

we are get linked to everyone in the transfer market and eventually allow everyone else to grab hold of our targets

Eriksen is far too young at the moment to join us. He needs more years to improve at Ajax, If he came to us now, he would only be a bit-part player, and it would ruin his development!!

[Wilson 358]

Meh. I am watching first half of European U21s v Belarus and he's done nothing really except from score an easy goal that even Heskey could score lol. Saying that, I'm only judging on 1 half of a game (so far) lol.

and then we end up paying a lot more for him..i know what you saying but sometimes it`s wise to plan ahead and buy players who aren`t quite ready but have lots of potential,rather than get involved in a huge bidding war in a couple of years time. i`m not gonna speculate on how often a player may play when we currently have no manager.

we could always sign him now,give him till january window to see how ready he is and if he`s not then loan him out during that window.
