Zended has been a revelation at the Riverside in his season long loan in the North East, and McClaren revealed "It's up to Chelsea and Bolo. But with Chelsea's squad situation, it's really up to Bolo - he's in the driving seat.

"He's been exceptional for us and has got better as the season has gone on. We'll move heaven and earth to get him here and we'll try to do that as quickly as possible."

In that case, we will take £15 million for him Steve!!!
