Chelsea agree to sell Boulahrouz

Boulahrouz made 23 appearances in the blue of Chelsea

Chelsea have agreed a deal with German side Stuttgart to sell Netherlands defender Khalid Boulahrouz.

The 26-year-old is expected to join the Bundesliga outfit for a fee of around £4m, two years after joining the Blues from Hamburg for £7m.

Stuttgart boss Armin Veh told Bild newspaper: "He is just the man we were lacking. He is one who is not scared of getting involved when needed."

Boulahrouz spent last season on loan at Spanish outfit Sevilla.

He struggled for form and fitness in Spain but impressed in the Netherlands defence during their Euro 2008 campaign in June.
