The Danish international has opted to stay in The Premiership with a move to St Andrews in preference to a move to Spain with Sevilla.
Gronkjaer has been signed for a fee of £2.2 million and has penned a two year contract at Blues with the club having a one year option on that.
Gronkjaer becomes the fifth of the five targets that manager Steve Bruce identified to the board that he would like to bring to the club during the close season - Mario Melchiot, Muzzy Izzet, Emile Heskey and Julian Gray are already on board.Jesper Gronkjaer) Information Date of birth 12 August 1977 Height 6.1 Place of birth Denmark Weight 13.3 Nationality Danish Position Midfield Recent Career History By Club (1999 onwards) Team Debut Apps (+ sub) Goals Yellows Reds Chelsea 13/01/2001 76 (42) 11 19 0 Ajax 29 (3) 1 1 0 Recent Career History By Season (1999 onwards) Season First App. Apps (+ sub) Goals Yellows Reds 2003/2004 13/08/2003 31 (17) 3 7 0 2002/2003 17/08/2002 24 (14) 5 4 0 2001/2002 19/08/2001 14 (2) 0 6 0 2000/2001 05/08/2000 11 (11) 4 3 0 1999/2000 17/10/1999 25 (1) 0 0 0 Appearances 105 (+ 45 as sub); Goals 12; Yellow cards 20; Red cards 0
