Chelsea owner Abramovich to hand Hiddink £150M transfer warchest

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is willing to hand Guus Hiddink a £150 million transfer warchest.

The News of the World says the Russian business man is planning to shell out a whopping £12m simply to buy Hiddink from his post as manager of Turkey as soon as possible.

But that will be just the start of a spending spree and having already splashed out £75m plus wages on Fernando Torres and David Luiz in January, Abramovich is now said to be planning to invest the extra cash.

The Russian's sole aim is for Chelsea to finally win the Champions League.
