Chelsea defender Slobodan Rajkovic is set to join French side Valenciennes but it remains to be seen whether it will be on loan or on permanent deal.
L'Equipe is reporting that the 22-year-old will sign for the Ligue 1 side as the Serbian is unable to gain a work permit because he has not played enough competitive matches.
Rajkovic moved to Chelsea in 2007 from OFK Beograd but has been loaned out every season to PSV Eindhoven, FC Twente and Vitesse,
The centre-half, did however, joined the Blues for pre-season training and featured in several friendly games under new manager Andre Villas-Boas.
But with the ongoing problem regarding his work permit, the Serb will be allowed to move to Valenciennes, says L'Equipe.
The French side consider Rajkovic as an ideal replacement for his compatriot Milan Bisevac, who joined Paris Saint-Germain last month.
