PSV have snapped up highly-rated Chelsea centre back Jeffrey Bruma for around £2.5 million.

Bruma failed to establish himself as the first-team player at Stamford Bridge and was loaned out to German outfit Hamburg, where he made 27 first-team appearances in all competitions.

The Dutchman welcomed an opportunity of returning to his home country, after signing a four-year deal that will keep him at Eindhoven up until 2017.

SV’s technical director, Marcel Brands, who has also brought Florian Jozefzoon from RKC Waalwijk revealed he is happy to have landed two Dutch players with bags of potential. He said: “They are talented players with all the necessary experience. Jeffrey is 21 years, Florian 22 years. They fit the philosophy that PSV have; we like the best Dutch talent in our ranks.”

Chelsea defender Jeffrey Bruma, who has spent two years on loan at Hamburg, is hoping to join PSV Eindhoven.

The 21-year-old Dutchman has reportedly become disillusioned with his life at Chelsea and sees his future out of Stamford Bridge. The youngster joined the Blues back in 2007, but he has not yet made a breakthrough into the first team. He has been loaned out to German side Hamburg, where he spent two seasons.

The Bundesliga side refused to make deal permanent, as they could not afford his transfer fee. However there are a lot of admirers of his talent across Europe and it looks like the offer from PSV could be for Bruma too tempting to refuse.

Bruma has one year left at his deal with Chelsea, but he hopes he could leave Stamford Bridge as soon as possible.

He said: “Yes I want to join PSV. This week we will open the negotiations. First PSV had to talk with Chelsea, after that it’s my turn.”
