HIDDINK ADDS DZAGOEV TO WISH LIST
Guus Hiddink has added another CSKA Moscow player to his Chelsea wish list - with Alan Dzagoev joining Yuri Zhikov as a major target.
The Dutchman, who took over the reins at Chelsea last week following the sacking of Luiz Felipe Scolari, knows both players well as they star for his Russian national team.
The 62-year-old has recommended that Chelsea snap up the pair before another suitors step in.
Midfielder Dzagoev, still only 18-years-old, wears the No10 shirt for CSKA and has already won two caps for Russia under Hiddink.
Zhikov is a highly rated left-sided player and was wanted by Juventus recently. But the 25-year-old remained in the Russian capital, although he is expected to move in the summer.
After last summer's Euro 2008 tournament Hiddink said of Zhikov: "He plays a very modern game - he's capable of covering all the left side of the pitch alone.
"A player can only do this if he has brilliant technical skills and physical condition. He's a top-class footballer."
