Chelsea FC are set to unveil Germany’s Michael Ballack as their new signing.

The Germany captain is out of contract at Bayern Munich, has been in discussions with the Premiership champions for several weeks and has reportedly been offered £130,000 a week.

Ballack, who is set to be unveiled at a Stanford Bridge press conference on Monday, said on Friday: “The time has come for me to make this move.

“When I came to Bayern (in 2002), general manager Uli Hoeness told me ‘When you’re 29, you can still move abroad’.

“I turned down an offer from Real Madrid at the time, which was very attractive.”

So, if based on Jose Mourinho’s prediction of signing 3 major players this summer,it looks like
1 down two to go…….Andriy Shevchenko anyone?..
