Van der Vaart To The Bridge?

Real Madrid playmaker Rafael van der Vaart has linked himself with a move to Chelsea - but only if Guus Hiddink stays on as boss, reports Yahoo Sport.
The Netherland's attacking midfielder opted to move to Madrid in the summer, citing his Spanish mother as a reason for his choice.
But he has found games hard to come by and, when he does start, is the first to be sacrificed if Los Merengues are protecting a lead or looking to change things around.
"It's flattering when someone like Hiddink is interested as he is one of the best," the former Ajax man was quoted saying in The Sun.
"If my World Cup selection is threatened I must think about a transfer."
The 24-year-old, who played for Hamburg before moving to Spain, has scored four Liga goals so far this season but has started only 10 matches, with 12 more appearances off the bench.
Hiddink is combining his temporary role at Stamford Bridge with his full-time job as Russia coach and, while he has publicly stated he will leave Chelsea in the summer, he has been linked with a stay in West London.
