*

Chelsea have completed the signing of Feyenoord striker Salomon Kalou on a three-year deal.

The Stamford Bridge club signed the 20-year-old after he completed a medical and agreed personal terms.

An undisclosed fee has been agreed with the Dutch club for a striker who has scored 35 goals in 67 games over the last two seasons, plus four in seven UEFA Cup appearances.

Kalou scored 20 goals in the 2004/05 season, the second best total in the Dutch top flight that campaign, and he won the 2005 Johan Cruyff Award for young talent playing in Holland.

Kalou was born in Ivory Coast but failed in a bid to obtain Dutch nationality in order to play for Holland at this summer’s World Cup.
