Dutch boss announces ‘I can’t stop’ £35 million winger completing move to Chelsea
Ruud van Nistelrooy admits PSV could be helpless to prevent Noni Madueke from leaving after Chelsea opened talks to sign the England U21 winger.
The highly-rated forward has gone on to score 20 goals in 79 first-team appearances for PSV, with his form attracting interest from Premier League giants Chelsea.
Graham Potter has had some serious injury issues to a number of first-team players already this season and knows that he needs to add more depth in order to get through the next few weeks, and months.
That has led to reports that Chelsea have made their moves to try and sign the talented Madueke – who has been impressing over in the Dutch League over the past few seasons.
Addressing the speculation surrounding Madueke, PSV boss and Manchester United legend Van Nistelrooy has admitted that there is nothing he can do to stop the young man from leaving – he said: ‘I know there is interest. This is due to his qualities and performance. It’s a worry.
‘We need to see if we can keep him. I very much hope for that. We must do everything we can to do that. But you also know that things can take off, if the purse is pulled hard.
‘Then you have to be ready with several options, because then you would lose a second player in January. But as a coach you would rather keep your best players.
‘Situations can arise where clubs come in with an offer that cannot be stopped.’

Chelsea are buying all these young talents that have done nothing in the game really – and will not do anything for a few seasons – and Madueke is one of those type of talents.
Yes he has done well – in the DUTCH League – and yes he has impressed – but this is the Premier League – Potter needs players that are ready to make a difference now – not in a few seasons.
