Boulahrouz Should Sign For Sevilla Next Week
Further to reports earlier this week, Sevilla have indeed all but secured the signature of troubled Chelsea left-back Khalid Boulahrouz, leaving HSV and Newcastle United way behind in the chase for the Dutchman's signature.
Khalid Boulahrouz endured a difficult debut season at Stamford Bridge, but seems unlikely to gain the chance to redeem himself in England as Sevilla close in on his transfer.
After a decent start to his Chelsea career, he made only 13 league showings for the Blues in a season dogged by injury and poor form. With Jose Mourinho looking to refit his squad after a disappointing campaign, Boulahrouz is almost certain to leave - and Sevilla seems to be his destination.
And although Chelsea splashed out almost £8.5m for the Dutch stopper, he could join the rojiblancos for £3.4m, or even less if negotiations go Sevilla's way.
Newcastle United and Bolton Wanderers had previously been linked with the player, but their interest has cooled, while Hamburger SV, his former club, also seem to be out of the runnings. Bayern Munich were reportedly interested, but the Andalucians are set to pounce.
Sevilla will act quickly after all but ending negotiations with Fiorentina over their first transfer target, Thomas Ujfalusi and will hope to close the deal by early next week.

Khalid will prove he is world class, he maybe failed at Chelsea but then again so did Ballack and Shevchenko, adapting is very difficult for most players,shamefully not every football fan sees that. Boumsong makes mistakes,Thuram made a crucial one against Milan last year,Puyol does,hell even Nesta makes then and so does F.Cannavaro who is chosen best defender in the world, I can only hope we get another great defender who is as tough as Khalid and as solid as Canna was when he played for us.
