Sevilla are reportedly closing in on the signature of Chelsea defender Khalid Boulahrouz, since Bayern Munich calmed their interest in the Dutchman.

The 25-year-old looks set to leave Stamford Bridge this summer after failing to impress in his first season, since his £6.75 million move from Hamburg, and the Uefa Cup winners are reported to be one of his more interested suitors.

Boulahrouz made only nine Premiership starts for The Blues last season, and is now set to be shown the door.
