de Guzman would turn down Chelsea move

Feyenoord youngster Jonathan de Guzman has no interest in joining Chelsea as he feels his first team opportunities would be limited. The 21-year-old Dutch forward believes a transfer to Primera Division side Valencia would be the perfect way to progress his career.

"The chances I (will) get to play (at Valencia) are bigger than at Chelsea," De Guzman told Dutch magazine Sportweek.

"And I don't want to be directly loaned out to another club. I want to go to Valencia. I feel a transfer to Valencia is the right step in my career.

"But if the clubs won't come to an agreement, I don't have any problems with staying at Feyenoord. I am still very happy at this club."
