NAC Breda have confirmed the loan signing of striker Stipe Perica from Chelsea.

The 18-year-old will spend the entire 2013/14 campaign with the Eredivisie outfit.



The Croatian starlet, who is contracted with Chelsea until 2018, joined the Blues from NK Zadar earlier in the month.

Perica scored eight goals in 20 league appearances for his former employers and was also in the Croatia Under-20 squad for this year’s World Cup.

NAC technical director Jeffrey van As is delighted with the acquisition and feels that the striker will add a different dimension to their squad.

He told his club’s official site: "Stipe is a welcome addition to our squad. He's a different kind of striker than the current strikers at the club.”

Perica is the latest Chelsea player to depart the club on a season-long loan, following the likes of Cristian Cuevas, Lucas Piazon and Thorgan Hazard amongst others.
