Nielsen completes AZ switch

AZ Alkmaar have completed the signing of Danish youngster Morten Nielsen from Chelsea. The 19-year-old has been on trial with the Eredivisie champions for two weeks and impressed enough to warrant a two-year contract. The Denmark Under-18 international joined the Blues in 2005 and signed professional forms in 2007 but failed to make the breakthrough at Stamford Bridge. AZ technical director Marcel Brands is confident the club will give the forward the platform he needs to improve his game. "During the trial he made a good impression," he told the club's official website. "AZ gives him the chance to develop himself further in Alkmaar."
