(SK当然不是切尔西今年夏天转会最轰动万教的新球员，但有可能是最好的一个。) The 20-year-old Ivorian striker signed a four-year deal with the Stamford Bridge club on Tuesday and arrives with a formidable reputation. (今年20岁，合约三年，风评非常很好。) He scored 35 goals in 67 games for Feyenoord from a wide position and won the 2005 Johan Cruyff award for being the best young player in Holland. (2005荣获荷兰Johan Cruyff最佳年轻球员奖。) Yet Feyenoord assistant manager Johnny Metgod has an ominous warning for Chelsea's rivals - that Kalou will improve with age. (前球会的助理教练表示，切尔西的对手要小心啦！Kalou会随着年龄增长而进步。) "His individual skills are amazing for someone of his age," former Nottingham Forest and Holland midfielder Metgod told BBC Sport. (他个人技巧相当好。) "But he is not the finished article and can improve a lot. The thing he needs to do is to keep his head up and assess the best option. (但他年纪还小，以後学到的会更多，现在他只需要专心踢球和把握机会。) "He has great ball skills and his instinct is always to beat a player. Yet it's not always best to go for the one-on-one, especially if you are in your own half. (球技好，能力好。) "You need to keep possession of the football, not lose it. It will be good for him to get more experience. (他的控球能力需要更多经验累积。) "He will learn where he can, play his own game and where he has to adapt." (在新环境调适後，他会从比赛当中学习。) Kalou has played as a left-sided striker for Feyenoord in a 4-3-3 line-up - the same formation that Chelsea have employed under manager Jose Mourinho. (之前在Feyenoord打4-3-3，边锋，正好是莫里尼奥常用的阵行。) But Metgod thinks it will still take him some time to adjust to Chelsea's style of play and to English football. (但Kalou应该需要时间去适应切尔西的打法和英超球风。) "Salomon is not a typical English centre-forward," he said. "He is very, very light-footed and extremely quick - certainly over the first few yards - but is not that strong yet. (他脚步轻速度快，但还不够强壮。) "The experience will be good for him in England and I certainly found him to be a quick learner. This was only his second year with Feyenoord and he adapted very quickly." (在英超的经验对他将来助益很大，他学习能力和适应能力都很强。) With the impending arrival of Andriy Shevchenko at Stamford Bridge and the fact that forwards of the calibre of Didier Drogba, Arjen Robben and Shaun Wright-Phillips are already at the club, Kalou is not assured of a first-team place next season. (目前队中有德罗巴、罗本、小赖特，Kalou未来会不会在一队很难说。) Indeed, he is not even sure to get a work permit and might have to be loaned out to another European club - perhaps in Belgium, which has more liberal nationality laws - in order to gain EU citizenship. (申请工作证是最大的问题，也许会租借到比利时，因为对国籍这类问题比较开放。) Kalou is uncapped, so he does not fulfil the criteria required to gain a work permit. (Kalou还未入选过国家队，这也是申请工作证的问题之一。) Chelsea are refusing to comment at the moment but they could claim mitigating circumstances were he refused a permit. (对这些工作证问题，目前切尔西拒绝说明。) The reasons are complex. (Kalou申请工作证问题复杂.......) Kalou arrived in Rotterdam - where his older brother Bonaventure, the current Ivory Coast captain, was playing for Feyenoord - in 2000. Although Bonaventure moved to Auxerre in 2003 and then on to Paris St Germain, where he still plies his trade, Salomon stayed in Holland and signed for Feyenoord in 2004. Ivory Coast coach Henri Michel was keen for Salomon to join his older brother in the international set-up but instead he elected to apply for Dutch citizenship after Holland coach Marco van Basten reportedly promised him a place in his World Cup squad. Dutch immigration minister Rita Verdonk refused to allow the player to be fast-tracked for a passport and, after a series of court cases, the appeals process was exhausted and he failed to gain citizenship. It means he will be watching the World Cup from home - and that Mourinho might have to wait to utilise Kalou's prodigious talents in his Chelsea team. --
