Chelsea are hopeful of luring Fernando Torres from Liverpool after making discreet inquiries, according to reports last night.
Torres is reported to be one of Chelsea's key targets as they aim finally to win the Champions League. The coach, Carlo Ancelotti, and the owner, Roman Abramovich, are believed to agree that extra quality is needed to achieve their goal.
"I would like to play with Torres," Ancelotti said recently. "He is a very good player. But this is not an issue for now. He is a Liverpool player."
The Spanish striker would likely command a British-record fee in any deal. Manchester City have also been linked with him, and have the resources to pay a huge fee, but their lack of Champions League football would be a drawback.
