Chelsea hope to land Valencia ace Villa for affordable fee
Chelsea have put aside £25 million to sign Valencia strike-ace David Villa.
The News of the World says the Blues are appealing against a FIFA ban on signing players for allegedly breaching rules.
They are confident they will win their appeal within the next month and be free to bring in new players at the turn of the year.
Didier Drogba, Michael Essien, John Obi Mikel and Salomon Kalou will all be missing for up to five weeks after Christmas because of the African Nations Cup.
Boss Carlo Ancelotti knows he will be short up front and that is why Villa, 27, has now become his No 1 target, especially as Valencia have made it clear they are now ready to sell their star player.

Villa would be nice, particularly next to Aguero up front, but we would really want David Silva and Mata as well they form a potent trio.
Our january signings should go...
1. Aguero or Pato
2. Villa, if we can get silva and/or mata as well, if not then i think we should get quaresma back
3. Angel di Maria and/or Quaresma (the big if is ribery)
4. Daniele de Rossi (the big if is ribery)
5. Marek Hamsik
6. An ACN backup, Heskey, Agbonlahor, Lavezzi, Acquafresca
7. Patrick Vieira
8. Gary Cahill
9. YOUTH!!!! Alex Tiexeira, Adam Johnson, David Luiz, Sebastian Corchia, Vladimir Koman, Gregory van der Wiel, Martin Galvan, Angelo Ogbonna, Zhano Ananidze, Alan Dzagoev and Cesar Azpilicueta.
I don like our tranfer policy at all. Come to think of it. There's something special about the young talents that Chelsea have targeted so far:
Aguero and Pato........Best Players at fifa world youth tournaments. Why not go for Dominic Adiyiah now than waiting for his price to be raised before we go after him. Now if what we read on the net is anything to go by, then it means AC Milan have signed him at a fee less than 2million euros. Chelsea wake up!!!
ye i agree, either barca or madrid
