The former Ukraine coach Oleg Blokhin is now in charge at FC Moscow. And he wants Sheva, despite the £30 million striker scoring just six Premier League goals in 18 months at Stamford Bridge.

Blokhin said: "We need at least one pacy forward. I'd love to see Andriy Shevchenko here.

"We worked together successfully with the Ukrainian national team.

"Not everything is going right for him in England but a player of his class would strengthen any team."
