The Blues are hopeful that Slobodan Rajkovic will finally get his work permit after four years of being a Chelsea player.
The Serbian moved to England from his hometown club OFK Belgrade in 2007, but has yet to be allowed to play in England.
He has spent the last three years on loan with PSV, Twente and then Vitesse last season and has played for the national team six times. During the 2010-11 season, he made 24 appearances in the Dutch league.
Having seen Raijkovic impress during the pre-season tour in Asia, Andre Villas-Boas is very keen to be able to include the player in his squad for the upcoming season.

This is stale drivel. I regret all the time i spent clickin this link and reading the article. I hope you'll regret my comments too.
the guy's impressive and promising……..has great strength and height, is quick, confident and hardworking. his only weakness seems to be controlling the balls he wins but will overcome this with first team experiences
Sorry Mr Chelsea – I hope you enjoy the next pieces more. Feel free to e-mail me on astamfordbridgetoofar@gmail.com if you have better stories or wish to get involved.
Mubariz – I think he will become a good player once he gets the opportunity to play, one for the future. The experience of playing in Holland will have helped him develop but actually playing in the Premiership will see how good he is.
