'New Ibrahimovic' in talks with Chelsea

by Chris Stanton, 04 December 2007

Chelsea are in negotiations to sign Marko Mitrovic, the 16-year-old Malmo forward dubbed 'the new Zlatan Ibrahimovic'.

The teenage Swede has attracted interest from the likes of Arsenal, Blackburn, Inter, Feyenoord and PSV Eindhoven, but Chelsea are at the front of a growing queue.

Malmo's sporting director Hasse Borg has revealed that the Swedish club are holding talks with their English counterparts.

However, Borg added a cautious note to suggestions that a transfer was imminent.

"We are in negotiations with Chelsea at the moment, but nothing has been decided yet," he said.

some one from Chelsea better get over there with a selection of fruits to establish just how good this boy is.

maybe hes a ripe melon?

I don't know anything about this kid and it's not the first time we hear someone called "the new [insert name of famous player here]". I hope this kid is as good as he seems to be and that we sign him.

good jose memories

let's get this kid, before we see in the future that he's a great player and we lost out on him. Well even if he isn't the "new insert name here" he must have some kind of superior skills for his age to even be mentioned.

So you want us to sign a player you have never seen play n the basis of what some random article says about him.

I didn't know Graeme Souness was a member on here

well don't put the kid on the first team automatically, sign and loan him out. then when he gains more experience and is a bit older, asess his playing abilities then and gradually bring him onto the first team.

I am the new Pele, sign me up

According to his Dad we're close to signing him:

However it appears as if he hasn't signed. He will join us and the chairman of his team has said that he's going to Chelsea. Mirkovic will now go to Chelsea and sign the contract. That's all that's missing.

So he hasn't signed just yet, but he is any day now. Mirkovic will be a Chelsea player and he has said that he will now move to England with his family.

Has someone at the club accidentally leaked it by leaving his/her USB memory-stick at some local library or something like that? If you know what I mean...
