A stumbling block for these two clubs will be the African Cup of Nations in January. Didier Drogba, Solomon Kalou and Nicolas Anelka will all leave the club come January. Drogba and Kalou could miss 3-4 games in 2012 and in their absence, Torres’ services would be required.

Torres has spoken out on his exit from Anfield on Spanish TV, saying that he was let down by the new owners of Liverpool.

‘They made promises that they didn’t keep and I left because I realized I didn’t have time to be part of a project that would take years “He has acknowledged that Del Bosque is sweating on his work at Chelsea, vowing to get back in favour with AVB. “My form has not been good but I am a World and European champion and I deserve more respect. It’s hard being on the bench but I respect the players who are playing. ” .
