Former Chelsea winger Malouda joins Trabzonspor on free transfer



Former Chelsea midfielder Florent Malouda has signed for Turkish club Trabzonspor, having been released by the Premier League outfit at the end of last season.

The 33-year-old was linked with several other English clubs but none were willing to take a risk on the French international.

Malouda was the final signing of Jose Mourinho's first reign at Chelsea where he often lined up alongside fellow France international Anelka.

Chelsea paid £13.5million for Malouda in 2007 but he only made one appearance last season under Roberto Di Matteo and Rafa Benitez.
