Fenerbahce are moving for Chelsea striker Andriy Shevchenko.

The Times says Shevchenko has been offered an escape route from Stamford Bridge by Fenerbahçe, three years after Chelsea broke the British transfer record to sign the striker from AC Milan for £30.4 million.

The Ukrainian has failed to recapture the form that made him one of the most lethal strikers in the world and returned on loan to Milan last season. He has one year left on his contract and has been courted by Roma and Monaco, both of whom were unwilling to meet his wages of about £120,000 a week.
