Ten Cate poised to join Chelsea coaching team

CHELSEA are refusing to confirm that Henk ten Cate will arrive at Stamford Bridge to join Avram Grant’s coaching team.

Ajax gave their coach permission to talk to Chelsea on Sunday and it appears that ten Cate has only to agree personal terms with the Premier League club to ensure he teams up with Grant and assistant Steve Clarke.

But Chelsea have yet to make any official comment over his proposed move, although Ajax do not expect negotiations to drag on.
