Samuel Eto'o is also being linked, although Mallorca's asking price for the Cameroonian star seems to be a stumbling block. Chelsea are willing to pay no more than £10 million, Mallorca want £15 million. The reason for such a high asking price is that Mallorca have to pay Real Madrid 50% of any fee, as they still hold half of his registration.
So the latest name linked is unsettled Leeds striker Mark Viduka. The Aussie scored 20 Premiership goals last year in a poor Leeds side, which has only got worse!
His agent told the BBC website, "We are waiting - I am in contact with most of the important clubs in Europe about Mark. I can say Chelsea is one of the clubs we are in contact with, but for now the most important thing is to close a deal before we talk about it."
