Andriy Shevchenko is being linked with a return to Chelsea.
The Daily Mail says the recently retired Ukrainian has spent considerable time at the club's Cobham training base as he works towards qualifying for his coaching badges.
And owner Roman Abramovich has held talks with the 36-year-old about a role at Stamford Bridge.
The Russian is close to Shevchenko and sanctioned his £31million transfer in 2006.
