Chelsea confirm Robben signing
Tuesday, Mar 02, 2004
Chelsea have won the race to sign top Dutch star Arjen Robben.
The PSV Eindhoven player will arrive at Stamford Bridge this summer in transfer deal worth £12m, following today's agreement between the clubs.
The 20 year old has played both as a left-winger and as a second striker for PSV and Holland.
His impressive scoring record speaks for itself. He has won four caps and scored two goals since his debut for the national team in April last year.
In 21 appearances this season for PSV, he has found the net seven times, and in his first full season in 2002/03 following his move from FC Groningen his goal tally was 12.
Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon said: "This is a great signing for Chelsea. Arjen is a top quality player who will become a major asset for our club in the years ahead. For his age, he shows great maturity and mental strength to go with his natural footballing skills.
"It's an excellent example of how Chelsea is appealing to the new wave of European talent and our commitment to bring the best young players to Stamford Bridge as well cultivate the best, young English talent."
Head coach Claudio Ranieri added: "For me, Arjen Robben will be a fantastic addition to our squad. He is quick, strong, scores goals, makes goals. He can do everything. His style is perfect for the Premier League and I am very happy that he wanted to come to us."
