Chelsea have held talks with Vitesse Arnhem midfielder Marco van Ginkel about a move to Stamford Bridge.
.
The 20-year-old has met Blues boss Jose Mourinho and will return to the Dutch club on Thursday, when discussions will take place about his future.
.
Marco van Ginkel joined Vitesse Arnhem when he was just seven years old and has progressed through their academy. He made his debut for the club in April 2010 and his international debut came in November last year.
.
Van Ginkel's main concern is over how much first- team football he would get.
.
He is on the fringe of the Dutch national side and has hopes of making the squad for next year's World Cup - and is said to be valued at about £8m.
.
Van Ginkel joined Vitesse's academy as a seven year-old in 1999 and came through the ranks before making his debut for the club in April 2010.
.
He emerged as one of the team's star performers last season and was a regular as he helped the club secure fourth place in the Dutch top flight.
.
Van Ginkel, whose current contract with Vitesse runs until June 2015, could become Chelsea's second summer signing following the £18m arrival of Germany international forward Andre Schurrle from Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen.
.
Mourinho is in charge of the Blues for the second time following his return as the club's manager earlier this summer after parting company with Real Madrid.
Any player Mourinho is on the look out for right about now is definately a player to beware of....
