Oh well another one bites the dust, Feyenoord forward has joined Chelsea this is more worrying than Svevchenco, lets hope they dont require the services of his partner Dirk Kuyt  :down:

He plays right midfield for Feyenoord. The Dutch have been trying to get him citizenship so he can play right midfield in the World Cup, but have failed to get the permit in time. Kuyt is having to play out of position on the right hand side as they don't have anyone else for that role. Chelsea have been linked with him for months now, bad news for Joe Cole if true as he is usually picked for the right of midfield.

It says on Sky Sports news that there has been contact and a deal is possible.

In all honesty I have never seen him play, but I would think him staying on loan there for a season is a possibility, he could continue getting first team football and get his Dutch passport.

If he goes to Chelsea than he wont be first team as Shevchenko looks set to sign, unless Chelsea are looking to change to 2 upfront.

Don’t Holland have Wesley Snijder and Romeo Castelen who play on the right?
