Blues ready to splash cash on playmakerChelsea is again being linked with a move for Dutch ace Rafael van der Vaart despite announcing his desire to play in Spain.
The player recently said: "Hamburg's chairman Bernd Hoffman asked me in May how the club could make me happy. I replied that I would like to move to Spain and would want them to listen to offers for me. He agreed to do that.
"But then a club comes along and suddenly I'm not for sale.
"I cost just five million euros and now Hamburg could get over 20 million euros for me, yet nobody at the club is willing to talk about it."
Chelsea are believed to be ready to pay £20million to secure his services.
