Chelsea are close to agreeing a £4million deal to snatch Dutch ace Royston Drenthe from under the noses of Real Madrid.
Drenthe was the star of the recent European Under-21 Championships and the Blues have moved quickly to do a deal with Feyenoord, according to reports.
The 20-year-old could even be sent back to Feyenoord for next season where he would be guaranteed first-team football before then linking up with Chelsea for the start of the 2008/9 season.
Drenthe, who has also attracted interest from Aston Villa, is expected in London this week to finalise his personal terms and medical before penning a lengthy contract at Stamford Bridge.
Drenthe plays on the left flank just like fellow Dutchman Arjen Robben, who is still attracting interest from Madrid.

Haven't seen him play personally, but heard he was class in the Euro U-21, could be a good signing.
