Rati leaves Chelsea

CHELSEA have released Georgian striker Rati Aleksidze.

The 24-year-old was a junior at Stamford Bridge, but only returned to sign a full-time deal in February 2000.

Huge things were expected from the Georgian international, but he has failed to make the breakthrough into Claudio Ranieri's first team.

Aleksidze made just three substitute appearances in his Blues career.

The former Dinamo Tbilisi star will now return to Georgia to find a new club.
