Chelsea reject Zenit approach for Zhirkov

Chelsea are holding onto wing-back Yuri Zhirkov.

The Daily Mail says Chelsea have rejected an attempt by Zenit St Petersburg to take Zhirkov back to Russia 12 months after he moved to Stamford Bridge from CSKA Moscow for £18million.

Zenit sporting director Igor Korneev said: "It's true we were interested in Zhirkov but Chelsea made it clear they won't let him go."
