Former Vitesse Arnhem owner Merab Jordania is planning to buy the Dutch club again so he can end their relationship with Chelsea.

Chelsea’s close ties with Vitesse are being investigated by the Dutch Football Association after Jordania accused the Blues of instructing them not to win the League.

UEFA rules dictate two clubs with a shared owner cannot enter the same European competition and Vitesse have slumped from challenging for the title to fourth in the table. Only the two top in the Eredivisie qualify for the Champions League.

Vitesse owner Alexander Chigirinsky is friends with Roman Abramovich and Chelsea have sent a number of their youth players there in recent years to get first‑team football.

Jordania lost control of the club to Chigirinsky at the start of this season and was then banned from attending their matches for three years after allegedly sending threats to chief executive Joost de Wit. However, he is now putting a consortium together to take control again and said: “Will I actually return? There are always discussions. If I find an opportunity to return, I will certainly not let it pass.”

Referring to his role in the investigation by the Dutch FA, he said: “They want to know exactly how it is. I see it as my job to tell you what’s going on at Vitesse.”

He cites Chelsea’s signing of midfielder Marco van Ginkel for £7.4m last summer as an example of their influence, saying: “Wolfsburg offered €15 million [£12.4m] for Van Ginkel but he went to Chelsea. It felt like giving him away.”

Chelsea have refused to comment on Jordania’s claims about them trying to influence Vitesse but it is believed they are dismissing them on the basis that their youth players would benefit from being involved in a title bid.

Highly rated quartet Lucas Piazon, Bertrand Traore, Patrick van Aanholt and Christian Atsu are on loan there from Chelsea.
