Mourinho set for Shevchenko fight

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is expecting a fight from AC Milan in his bid to sign striker Andriy Shevchenko.

Chief executive Peter Kenyon confirmed on Sunday that the club want to sign the Ukraine international - who has said he is thinking of leaving Milan.

Mourinho said: "I cannot say that Shevchenko does not interest me, but AC Milan are a very powerful club.

"They don't need to sell players in order to buy good players. It's going to be very difficult.

Mourinho added: "To improve the fantastic squad we have, you can go in two directions - young players you can work with, improve and have success in a couple of years, or the best players in the world."

Mourinho has also been linked to Argentina World Cup striker Carlos Tevez.

Mourinho recently travelled to watch him play for Corinthians and Tevez, 22, is convinced he is on the brink of a move to Stamford Bridge.

"Chelsea intend to take me," he said.

"It's difficult to distance myself from them because they have shown a lot of affection towards me and my family.

"He's (Mourinho) looking at what's there. There must have been a reason to come to see me play."

But Kenyon said: "We have looked at him and he is a good player and does a good job but all the reports of him being linked with us are not right. I would be surprised to see him in a Chelsea shirt next season."

Im not a Chelsea fan but Tevrez going Chelsea can seriously hurt his career. He might be bench warmin, while drogba or crespo play, or he might not be able to adapt to the play of the premiership. I think them going for shevchenko is the best thing to do.

drogba won't start ahead of shevy and proly not infront of tevez.

if they sign both shev and tev then i think crespo will go back to italy and drogba will go too.
