Kalou nears Hertha Berlin exit as forward hunts for new club

Former Chelsea forward Salomon Kalou has started searching for a new club after he was recently released by Bundesliga club Hertha Berlin.

With the January transfer window now open, the Ivorian is now open to join a new club after five-and-a-half seasons at the Olympiastadion Berlin.

After Kalou was excused from training last Sunday to allow him to “find a new club,” a Hertha Berlin official has now told BBC Sport the 34-year-old has since begun club-hunting.

“Salomon is a matured person and he's set to make an important decision,” said the unnamed Hertha Berlin official.
