David Silva's agent is warming that Chelsea could hijack Manchester City's move for the Spain winger. City were given permission by Valencia to speak to the 24-year-old, with the two clubs thought to have agreed a fee of £28million.

However, his agent, Julio Llorente, has hinted he would favour a move to Stamford Bridge instead of Eastlands.

Llorente insists that even if a deal has been struck between City and Valencia for Silva his client is still free to choose his next destination.

"We're weighing up offers from three clubs and one is Chelsea," Llorente told the Daily Mail.

"If Silva doesn't want to go to City, the transfer isn't possible."
