CHELSEA AGREE KEZMAN FEE

Last updated : 02 July 2004 By Liam Corbett
The fee has not been disclosed, but what Chelsea are certaintly getting is a top draw striker.

Kezman has the best scoring record in Holland's league, since Marco Van Basten was playing for Ajax in the late 80's! Higher than a certain Mr Van Nistelrooy too!

To be fair, Kezman's scoring rate in the Dutch league bares several parallels to that of Ruud Van Nistelrooy's, as Kezman bagged himself an impressive 35 goals in 33 games !! A good strike ratio is 1 goal in 2 games. Kezman averaged more than a goal a game!

His 28 league goals last term took his total league goals to 95 in just four seasons.

He will travel to London next week to finalise personal terms, have a medical and apply for a work permit.

Chief executive Peter Kenyon said: "We are delighted to have agreed terms with PSV for Mateja. He is one of the top strikers in Europe and will be an excellent addition to our squad and team."

Chelsea's answer to Ruud Van Nistelrooy or Thierry Henry?

Time will tell ....
