Chelsea
striker Bertrand Traore has been given a work permit and will join the
club's pre-season tour.
The Burkina Faso forward has been registered as a Chelsea player since
January 2014, but at that time he had not played enough international
football to earn a permit.
Chelsea sent him to Vitesse in the Dutch Eredivisie, and he scored 13 league
goals last season at a rate of nearly one-per-start.
Traore will now have the chance to impress Jose Mourinho on Chelsea's tour
of the United States, where they play friendly matches against New York Red
Bulls, Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona.
