Chelsea will reportedly have to battle with Manchester City in their attempts to sign Ajax's Riechedly Bazoer as incoming Sky Blues boss Pep Guardiola wants to "hijack" the west London club's move for the Dutch youngster.
According to Darren Lewis in the Mirror, Chelsea are in "advanced talks" to sign Bazoer, 19, for £24 million, but Guardiola would like to see him at the Eithad.
Lewis reported that Chelsea have already met with Bazoer's agent and current interim Blues manager, Guus Hiddink, has a good relationship with the player from his time at PSV Eindhoven.
