Arthur Numan, who is contemplating hanging up his boots after refusing a new reduced deal from Glasgow Rangers, could well make a return to PSV after coach Guus Hiddink hinted that he will offer Numan the chance to return. Hiddink is in need of a replacement for Danish veteran Jan Heitze, who will be retiring at the end of this season and believes that Numan is the ideal replacement. On PSV's we3bsite Hiddink said: "Arthur Numan is a fantastic professional player with a good mentality. He's a player you can always count on."

Last month Numan stated in an interview in the Dutch daily newspaper 'Algemeen Dagbald' that it was a bad idea to  re-build his career in the country he came from. If Numan is prepared to come back on his decision remains to be seen.
