Chelsea are believed to be willing to include midfielder Marco van Ginkel in a player-plus-cash deal for Stoke goalkeeper Asmir Begovic.

The Daily Mail is reporting that Chelsea are prepared to send van Ginkel to the Britannia Stadium on loan in order to bring Begovic to Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea are looking for a new first-choice shot-stopper following the departure of Petr Cech to Arsenal. Stoke have reportedly already turned down Nathan Ake, Patrick Bamford and Nathaniel Chalobah, but are understood to be weighing up the prospect of van Ginkel joining Mark Hughes' outfit.
