We can bring you the lowdown thanks to Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf's Jeroen Kapteijns, who told BBC Sport: "Robben did have his mind set on a move to Manchester United, but when they heard of PSV's financial problems and only offered £5m, PSV said no way.

"Robben's father had said Chelsea was not an option because he felt they did not have a vision for young, talented players, they only bought players. But the player himself remained interested and PSV sent agent Ton Smit from Fair Deal Sports Management to see if they were serious about doing a deal.

"PSV had good contacts with Roman Abramovich, Peter Kenyon and Claudio Ranieiri and the deal was done. Kenyon and Ranieri then took a plane to Eindhoven to see Robben at his apartment and convinced him about Chelsea's good intentions and their view for young players like him."

But where does he play? Is he a striker??

"He is one of the big young talents in Holland. He has got a very good left foot and great dribbling skills. He can play in a variety of positions. He is a left winger first but he can also play as a second central striker, a number 10 as we say in Holland.

"But because he has incredible speed, his best position is as a left-winger. He has worked very hard on his right foot though, and the improvement in that has been amazing, so he is a very good all-round player now and has had a good season for PSV.

"I think he will do very well in Britain because there is a lot of space in the Premiership and teams play attacking football. It is not like in Italy, where the football is defensive and players try to stifle your talent by breaking your ankles.

"He is a very cool and relaxed character. He is very strong for a young man. He will not do anything stupid and is the type of person to suit England."

So there you have it!
