Kalou finalises three-year deal
Tuesday, May 30, 2006
The second signing of the summer has been completed. Salomon Kalou has joined Chelsea Football Club following a successful medical and an agreement on personal terms.
An undisclosed transfer fee will be paid to Feyenoord for the 20 year-old striker who has signed a three-year contract.
A regular scorer, Kalou has performed in the Dutch league for three seasons. In 2003/4 the speedy striker made two appearances for Feyenoord but played the bulk of the season on loan at another Rotterdam club, second division Excelsior, where he scored four times in 11 appearances.
In the past two seasons back at Feyenoord he found the net 35 times in 60 top flight starts plus seven sub appearances. He has also scored four goals in 6+1 UEFA Cup games.
The 20 goals he scored in 2004/5 was the second best total in the Dutch top division that season and he was selected as the winner of the 2005 Johan Cruyff Award for Young Talent playing in Holland.
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has confirmed he is interested in signing Real Madrid star Roberto Carlos and is unconcerned with the Brazilian international's age.
The 33-year-old is being linked with a summer switch to Stamford Bridge where he will be offered a three-year deal worth £100,000 a week.
Mourinho has already snapped up Michael Ballack and Andriy Shevchenko this summer and is keen to continue to strengthen his squad.
He said: "I'm not one of those who looks at identity cards.
"I'm with those who think what's most important about a player is what he does for 90 minutes, regardless if he is 20, 30 or 40 years old.
"Roberto is a mature player in fine condition, the best in his position.
"It's possible Roberto will sign but I think we have to wait a little longer."
