We're sure a lot of managers are saying it right now, but Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink has revealed he would have loved Jermain Defoe in one of his teams.

Defoe has been in excellent form this season, scoring 15 goals in 32 appearances, including the winner against Chelsea at the weekend.

The striker has definitely been the reason why Sunderland will survive the Premier League drop and Hiddink is impressed with the 33-year-old.

Speaking to Chelsea's official website, the Dutch man said: ]

"I am very impressed [with Defoe's performances]. He has tremendous pace and he's very clever, he's one of those guys I respect very much for his performances. The way he plays for Sunderland is key but also at other clubs.

"I would have loved to have had him in one of my teams. He can play in any team.

"I like his speed but normally when you have speedy players there is a lack of vision. If you have both in balance you are a top player. He's a very beautiful player to see."

Should Jermain Defoe be in the England squad this summer?
