Guus Hiddink is reportedly planning a shock move for ex-Arsenal centre-back Thomas Vermaelen.
Vermaelen has endured a tough time since making his move to Barcelona from Arsenal in 2014.
The Belgium international has been plagued by injuries and has featured only six times in La Liga this season.
He could be employed as some sort of replacement for captain John Terry, who is likely to leave the club at the end of the season.
