Ayala Targetted

Last updated : 04 November 2003 By Rich Godden
Chelsea have actually not said anything about Ayala. It is all of Valencia's making. Their general director Manuel Llorente revealed: "It's true, there is interest in Ayala from Chelsea. But they are not the only team who want to sign him, there are other important teams interested in Ayala.''

But Valencia President Jaime Orti, just hours after the above statement was made, then revealed "There is an interest in Ayala from Chelsea, however that doesn't mean that Valencia want to sell the player. We haven't entered negotiations with them."

So what the hell is going on?? Do we even need another defender?
