TEMPO.CO, London - Chelsea are aiming Roma's Mattia Destro as a step to strengthen the front line of The Blues following Fernando Torres’ move to AC Milan.
Torres is counting the days at the Stamford Bridge and will soon anchor in AC Milan. The top A-series club has agreed on a 10-million-pound deal to bring the 30-year-old.
The representatives of Torres are in England to speak with Chelsea's officials about the terms of the Spaniard’s move to AC Milan.
Chelsea's manager Jose Mourinho has already targeted Destro to replace Torres. Destro will become the club’s third-choice striker behind Diego Costa and Didier Drogba. It is understood that there had already been a meeting between Chelsea and Roma over Destro, as reported in the Telegraph.
In Torres’ 172 appearances defending Chelsea, his goal achivement lacks joy, due to only have scored 46 goals.
If averaged, Torres received 1.6 million pounds per goal and 436,000 pounds per match. In almost half of the matches (55 plays), Torres was a bench-warmer.
