PSV Eindhoven coach Ruud van Nistelrooy has admitted that his club are fighting a losing battle to keep Noni Madueke out of Chelsea ’s clutches.
The Blues have had an initial bid worth £30 million rejected by the Dutch club - and Van Nistelrooy has been urging his club’s director of football Marcel Brands to keep the England Under-21 international in Holland. But Van Nistelrooy has revealed that he is already looking for a replacement for the 20-year-old winger. And Chelsea will get their man if they can get close to PSV’s £40 million valuation.
Van Nistelrooy said: “It is now a case of looking for a good replacement. It looks like we could lose another big player this winter transfer window.
