According to Russian daily Sport Express, CSKA Moscow’s 25-year-old full-back Yuri Zhirkov was due to arrive in London on Wednesday of this week to sign for Chelsea for around €20 million. He didn’t, and so has not yet become Carlo Ancelotti’s first major signing for the west London club.
And while CSKA president Yevgeny Giner has admitted that his club are in talks with Chelsea, Ancelotti’s former club AC Milan are now said to have indicated an interest in signing the player.
In fact, as well as the Rossoneri, Zhirkov has also been linked with Liverpool and Arsenal – although Chelsea remain the favourites, former coach Guus Hiddink having apparently advised Blues owner Roman Abramovich to sign the attacking defender known as the ‘Russian Ronaldinho’.
