Chelsea are close to agreeing a £4million deal to snatch
Dutch ace Royston Drenthe from under the noses of Real
Madrid.
Drenthe was the star of the recent European Under-21 Championships
and the Blues have moved quickly to do a deal with Feyenoord,
according to reports.
The 20-year-old could even be sent back to Feyenoord for next
season where he would be guaranteed first-team football before then
linking up with Chelsea for the start of the 2008/9 season.
Drenthe, who has also attracted interest from Aston Villa, is
expected in London this week to finalise his personal terms and
medical before penning a lengthy contract at Stamford Bridge.
Drenthe plays on the left flank just like fellow Dutchman Arjen
Robben, who is still attracting interest from Madrid.
