MADRID (AFP) - Chelsea striker Mateja Kezman reached agreement with Atletico Madrid to join the Spanish top flight outfit on a three-year contract, club chairman Enrique Cerezo said. Cerezo, who made no mention of a fee, said the Serb would undergo a medical examination on Wednesday and set the seal on a move after agreement had been reached with the player and with Chelsea. The striker failed to live up to his reputation built on four years of high scoring with PSV Eindhoven in Holland and was often on the bench at Chelsea.
"When I played in Holland I scored a lot of goals and I want to prove I can still score," Marca magazine had earlier quoted Kezman as saying. The 26-year-old spent the day in talks with Atletico, who added they were not about to allow Spanish international striker Fernando Torres move to Stamford Bridge as part of any deal. Cerezo told Chelsea to "forget" all about making a move for Torres, one of the hot properties in the Spanish game. Atletico will not be in Europe next season having finished a disappointing campaign in mid-table. Kezman made only six starts for Chelsea in last season's Premiership title-winning campaign and 23 appearances in all, scoring four times in the league and three times in other competitions with coach Jose Murinho preferring Didier Drogba and Eidur Gudjohnsen. Kezman made his name during four goal-laden seasons with PSV Eindhoven, top-scoring three times in the Dutch league and netting 105 goals in 122 games. Previously he had played for Partizan Belgrade. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
