Dynamo Kiev wants reunion with Chelsea striker Shevchenko

Dynamo Kiev want to bring Chelsea striker Andriy Shevchenko back to the club.

"For a footballer like him, the doors of Dynamo are always open," said club president Igor Surkis. "If Andriy wants to continue playing top level football we'll give him this opportunity."

Surkis fears that Shevchenko's wife, American model Kristen Pazik, would veto a move to Ukraine, just as she was the moving force behind his switch to Chelsea three years ago, seen by many as a disaster for a striker who was seen as the best in Europe at the time he moved to Stamford Bridge but whose career has gone downhill ever since.

"It's very important too that his own desire coincides with that of his family. His wife may be not so keen on moving to Ukraine," said Surkis.
