Chelsea striker Mateja Kezman, who completed his transfer to Atletico Madrid on Wednesday, says the Blues never believed in him. The 26-year-old, who joined Chelsea a year ago for �5m from PSV Eindhoven, claimed there were 20 clubs other than Atletico he could have chosen.
He added: "I still don't understand why I am not such a star at Chelsea.
"Everyone else interested in signing me seems to think I've all the ability necessary to be a star striker."
Kezman became Atletico's first signing of the summer when he completed his move.
The Serbia & Montenegro forward made his name with Partizan Belgrade before, in 2000, joining PSV where he scored 105 goals in a four-year spell.
His exit, along with that of Mikael Forssell to Birmingham, leaves Chelsea with just two senior strikers at the club, Didier Drogba and Eidur Gudjohnsen.
One other, Hernan Crespo, is still contracted to the Blues but has spent the last year on loan at AC Milan and is desperate to remain at the San Siro.
That is why the Blues have tried to sign some of the best strikers in Europe this summer - having been linked with Thierry Henry, Adriano, Andriy Shevchenko, David Trezeguet, Samuel Eto'o and Fernando Torres.
