24 June 2013 - 14:08

Veteran midfielder Theo Janssen believes that the decision for a Chelsea move should be left to the discretion of Marco van Ginkel. He reckons that the 20-year-old should make a move if he feels he is ready for it.

Jose Mourinho has longed to capture van Ginkel&rsquo;s summer signing and the reports linking the young star to Chelsea have been in the market for about a month a now. It is believed that Mourinho is in final stages of seizing the spectacular midfielder&rsquo;s transfer but there has been no official confirmation.<br />

Janssen told NUsport:<br />

"I gave him a call and told him my opinion. I said he must follow his feelings,"<br />

"If he thinks he's ready for the next step, then he must do it. I think he is ready for a next step but the step to Chelsea is very big.&rdquo;<br />

"Eventually I think he will reach that level. Only the question is if he will reach that level already, or if he needs some time to adapt. I think the last one."<br />

Janssen also seems confident that Ginkel wouldn&rsquo;t be loaned out at Chelsea, should he accept the offer from the Stamford Bridge. Personally, the 31-year-old believes that Ginkel should not miss out on such a golden chance.<br />

"It's the plan that he'll join the Chelsea squad, learn a lot and play on a regular basis,"<br />

"I told him that opportunities like this don't come that often and, if you get a chance like this, I think you must do it."
