Chelsea seek quick deal for Ajax star Huntelaar

Chelsea are moving for Ajax striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.

The Daily Mail says Huntelaar will eventually follow Henk ten Cate to Chelsea.

Huntelaar, the highly-rated Holland star who turned down the chance to move to Manchester United last summer for £14million after deciding he wanted to spend one more season in Holland, could become a Chelsea player in the January transfer window.

The 24-year-old scored 21 goals in 32 league games for Ajax last season and his arrival at Chelsea is sure to lead to Andriy Shevchenko's departure, with Inter Milan the most likely destination for the troubled Ukrainian.
