Ten Cate is poised to sign a three-year contract with the Blues and team up with Grant and assistant Steve Clarke after being given permission to talk to Chelsea.

A statement issued by the Dutch club on their website, www.ajax.nl read: "Ajax have reached agreement with the English club about the immediate transfer of Henk ten Cate."

It added: "After being approached by Chelsea, Henk ten Cate asked the Ajax management last week for permission to start negotiations with the Premier League side. After internal deliberations, Ajax granted permission.

"It is now up to Chelsea and Henk ten Cate to finalise the deal together. Ajax do not expect this to take much time."

Grant is still looking for a fitness coach, a goalkeeping coach and a scout, but Clarke and Ten Cate would be the two men responsible for first-team affairs under him.

The 52-year-old Israeli has always worked with two assistants and confirmed last Friday he was hoping for a European coach to work with Clarke - citing Ten Cate as one of the men he had identified as a possible addition to his backroom staff.
