Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is in South Africa to step up his bid for Liverpool striker Fernando Torres.
The Telegraph says Abramovich has flown to South Africa to try to secure the signing of Torres for a British record of £50 million.
Abramovich was in South Africa for the start of the World Cup but has now returned to show Torres and his representatives how serious his intent is.
He is hoping to meet with Torres' agents over the next few days.
A source close to the deal said last night that the Chelsea owner was "pushing very hard" to complete the deal.
