Chelsea ready to cash in on Torres

Chelsea are prepared to sell Spanish striker Fernando Torres in the summer transfer window, Daily Express has revealed.

The Spaniard has largely struggled to live up to the expectations since making a £50 million move from Anfield, and the Blues seem to have finally lost patience with him.

Daily Express has been told club owner Roman Abramovich is ready to sell the experienced striker if anyone offer around £15 million.

Russian free-spenders Anzhi are keen on Torres, but it appears the player himself prefers a return to Spanish La Liga.

Should Chelsea decide to make a move on Radamel Falcao, they could use Torres as a makeshift in the deal.

The 28-year-old joined the Blues in January 2011, and has since scored just 14 Premier League goals for the Stamford Bridge outfit.

Torres has lost his place in the side to Demba Ba this season, and he looks set to finally leave Chelsea in the summer.
