The likes of Kaka, Lionel Messi and Frank Ribery have all be linked with the Premier League giants in today's Mirror. The trio are among the world's top attacking midfielders and are likely to cost the Londoners at least £100 million.

It is also thought that Chelsea will have to offload some of their current squad members with Didier Drogba, Florent Malouda and Andriy Shevchenko all likely to depart.

Manager Avram Grant is under great pressure at the moment and many people have speculated in recent weeks and days about his future at the club. However with today's news that he is set to receive a massive transfer budget it looks as though Abramovich feels Grant deserves to lead Chelsea into the 2008/2009 season.
