Salomon Kalou Set For Stamford Bridge Switch
Feyenoord striker Salomon Kalou will overcome his disappointment at not getting fast track citizenship in time to play for Holland at the World Cup finals by signing a five year deal with Chelsea this week.
The Ivory Coast born player, brother of Ivory Coast star Bonaventure Kalou, has been a revelation for Feyenoord this season and the club reluctantly agreed to let him travel to London for talks with Chelsea after opening negotiations with the club on Thursday.
The 20 year old then had talks with both Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich and manager Jose Mourinho and is now expected to complete the move next week after the Chelsea and Feyenoord agree a transfer fee.
