Striker Hernan Crespo, who is one of the few to have played as a striker in Italian and English football in the last two decades, says that he expects Chelsea striker Fernando Torres to come good at AC Milan.

The Spaniard moved to the Italian outfit during the summer on a two-year loan spell, which effectively means that his career with Chelsea has come to an end given that he has only two years of contract left with the English club. Torres has been a major disappointment since his move to Chelsea. He has averaged only around one goal per three or four matches.

Jose Mourinho has once again insisted that Spaniard Fernando Torres is not going anywhere despite transfer rumours linking him with several clubs across Europe. Torres has struggled for form since moving to Chelsea almost 3 years ago. It is looking highly unlikely that he will rediscover the kind of goal scoring touch that made him feared across the world by opposition defenders. It is thought that Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has also given up on Torres becoming a world-class striker once again. Torres is widely believed to have been a pet signing of the Russian.

Arsene Wenger has been reported to have telephoned Iker Casillas to ask him if he is interested to play in the English league.
Casillas has been a Real Madrid player for a long time, but, he is no longer a first choice there. He had played in the European Cup matches last season though, but, in the league, he had only featured a couple of times.

Casillas would most probably be on the bench for Los Blancos this summer as well especially after the outing that he had in the FIFA World Cup 2014.

Wenger wants to take advantage of this situation of Casillas and lure him to the Emirates.

After suffering humiliation in the opening group match against Netherlands, pressure is on the Spaniards to deliver on the next match against Chile. Fernando Torres, who has been one of the leading goal scorers in the last few major tournaments, says that the Spanish team is much better than the one that lifted the World Cup in 2010. Spain conceded very few goals in the competition, but there have been warning signs that the defence has been deteriorating. They have been considering a lot of goals of late including the 3-0 defeat against Brazil in the Confederations Cup last summer.

Fernando Torres has been one of Chelsea’s misfiring strikers of this season as he has made over 26 league appearances but only managed on scoring in 5 occasions.

The inconsistency of the Spanish forward as well as Demba Ba and Samuel Eto’o underperforming campaign is one of the main reasons on why Jose Mourinho is so desperate on landing a persistent attacker for the upcoming season with Diego Costa and Radamel Falcao at the top his list.

Former Chelsea assistant manager Ray Wilkins says that Fernando Torres’ days at Chelsea are numbered after the striker was publicly criticised by Jose Mourinho following the 3-1 defeat against Paris St Germain in the Champions League quarter-finals.

The first leg of the two legged match ended in a defeat for Chelsea, which puts their qualification hopes to the semi-final in tatters. The blues have reached the semifinals six times in the last 10 seasons and they have one of the impeccable records in this competition over the last decade.

Daniel Sturridge has been one of the best strikers in the Premier league in the last 12 months. He appears to have really come of age since joining Liverpool in a £ 12 million deal.

The striker had not been given a proper opportunity in the first-team at his previous club like Chelsea and Manchester city. However, he has proved his worth by scoring almost a goal per game in the last 12 months at Liverpool. Sturridge has revealed that Chelsea striker Fernando Torres played a key role in his move to Liverpool.

At a point when it seemed Jose Mourinho’s Blues were in the lead of the title race, the Chelsea title rivals only looked like they were getting stronger as vital players started to come back from injuries.

Mourinho confirmed that Fernando Torres is back in shape and is all set to play West Bromwich Albion. No one knows at the moment how big of a role Torres will play against the Baggies as this is yet to be seen. However, his return is momentous. He re-entered at a very important period in the Premier League title race.

Fernando Torres has been going through a minor resurgence with Chelsea as he has scored 3 goals in the last 5 matches and even though it isn’t the revival he needs to make up for the huge price tag that Chelsea had to offload in order to secure the services of the Spanish forward, it still is a nice boost for the former Liverpool player.

Chelsea’s strikers Demba Ba, Fernando Torres and Eto’o have not been going through the best of times and this is evident taking into consideration that the top goal-scorers for the team of Jose Mourinho is filled with midfielders as Hazard is the main outlet of goals for his team in this season followed by Oscar and Lampard.
