Valencia set to win battle for Feyenoord star De Guzman

Valencia are set to win the race for Feyenoord midfielder Jonathan de Guzman.

Dutch sources say Valencia will secure De Guzman to a pre-contract in January ahead of signing him on a Bosman at the end of this season. The Holland international is inside the final 12 months of his current deal.

De Guzman has already stated a preference for joining Valencia ahead of rival interest from Chelsea and Aston Villa.
