CHELSEA face a fight with Real Madrid for Dutch ace
Royston Drenthe.
The Spanish giants have entered the race for the left midfielder,
who was reported to be the subject of a £4.7million bid from the
Blues.
Chelsea wanted to buy Drenthe, 20, from Feyenoord this summer
before loaning him back to the Dutch club for next season.
Drenthe starred for Holland in last month's European Under-21
Championship.
But new Real coach Bernd Schuster has now stepped up his bid to
bring the player to the Bernabeu alongside fellow new signings Pepe
and Christoph Metzelder.
Should Chelsea succeed in their bid for Drenthe, it could pave the
way for Dutch winger Arjen Robben to join Real.
Meanwhile, Argentina striker Javier Saviola, 25, is poised to join
Real Madrid on a free from arch rivals Barcelona.
