REPORTS: Chelsea Linked With Sensational Move For Rival Midfielder

Chelsea are planning a surprising move for Manchester City winger Adam Johnson according to Talksport.

Roberto Mancini appears unconvinced by the former Middlesbrough wide-man after he made just 16 appearances from the starting line-up last season.

The England international was a snip at just £7million when City brought him in from Championship club Middleborough back in January 2010.

Mancini would be prepared to sell the 24-year old with the club boasting various options for the left flank including Gareth Barry, David Silva, Mario Balotelli, Shaun Wright-Phillips and James Milner.

With UEFA’s financial fair play set to come into place at the end of next year, City may have to start selling to reduce their massive wage bill.
