Chelsea could reignite their interest in Ajax starlet Christian Eriksen having seen Manchester Citys attempts to sigh the attacking-midfielder fail.
City were unsuccessful their £20million move for the Danish teenager Eriksen after he feared he would not play regularly at Eastlands
And while the 19-year-old midfielder may not play week in week out at Stamford Bridge, Blues boss Andre Villas-Boas is confident that he can convince the Denmark international to make the move to London.
Villas-Boas is keen to strengthen his midfield options this summer, particularly with Michael Essien set for a lengthy spell
The situation has become a big concern for Villas-Boas, with Tottenham playing hard-ball over the sale of Luka Modric and PSG winning the race for Javier Pastore.
The Portuguese tactician, who is renowned for his man-management skills, believes a persuasive rhetoric with Eriksen about improving his game significantly at Stamford Bridge, could be enough to seal a deal.
Eriksen, who even visited Manchester ahead of a proposed move to City, was man-of-the match when England beat Denmark in Copenhagen last February.
But the midfielder’s agent Martin Schoots said: "Christian was very flattered by the interest from City, but at the moment it is not the step he wants to make.
"The feeling has to be right. Its not about the money."
