Chelsea desperate to land Liverpool striker Fernando Torres
Chelsea midfielder http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-Torres-c13707 which would see the Spaniard arriving at Stamford Bridge before the January transfer window reaches its deadline. The defending
champions made an initial bid of £35 million, which was rejected by Liverpool despite the Spanish international handing in a transfer request. However, Chelsea are reportedly preparing to launch a bid of £40 million, which will be difficult for the Reds to
reject.
With the arrival of Luiz Suarez, the former Ajax striker, at Anfield Torres seems even more determined for a move away but has been told by the club to honor his contract. While asked about the issue, Lampard said he would be pleased to welcome a player
like Torres to Stamford Bridge. He said while speaking to reporters, “Players of a top, top level and world-class players will always help your squad. It remains to be seen what happens with the club - who they bring in and who the manager wants to bring in
- but they'll always be very welcome from us.”
It’s true that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 could use someone like Torres at this point in the season; the Blues have not been themselves lately. After a terrific start to the season Chelsea suffered a terrible slump, their worst in over 15 years, an ageing squad and the departure
of Ray Wilkins were just some of the reasons given for it. However, it is true that Carlo Ancelotti has not brought in any significant players after the departure of the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Juliano-Belletti-c19932. The arrival
of Torres could really boost the Blues performance, putting the current fourth place side back into the title race.
Chelsea were previously targeting David Luis, the Benfica defender, but failed to reach an agreement with the Portuguese outfit and the deal was called off. The Blues seemed to give up on the young defender easily compared to the effort they are putting
in for the Spanish striker. It has been reported that Chelsea offered http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-Sturridge-c10076. The 21 year old has improved since he arrived at Stamford Bridge from Manchester City, mostly being
used in the cup fixtures, but the Blues prefer Torres over him.
