Juventus are emerging as favourites for unsettled Chelsea striker Andriy Shevchenko.

Tuttosport says Juve have already been contacted by agents representing Shevchenko about taking the Ukrainian off Chelsea's hands in January.

Chelsea are ready to offload Sheva during the winter market and a loan agreement could be struck, with Juve covering his £2.7 million wages for the remaining six months of the season.
