According to the news agency "Reutters", one of the best strikers in the world, the Ukrainian Andriy Shevchenko, is moving to London after the season.

Although the transfer fee is not disclosed, it is claimed that Chelsea's owner, Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, agreed to pay more than 40 million pounds for the striker.

This decision by the Ukrainian is not very surprising, as the English media has been speculating on this topic for some time and even reported that A. Shevchenko will sign a four-year contract, earning about 110,000 pounds sterling per week.

Shevchenko himself did not confirm this report, but indirectly indicated that he has indeed agreed to move to Chelsea: "Will I move? I can't say, but I want to thank the fans for how they treated me all these years. Also, London is a very beautiful city, but for the questions you asked me, ask Silvio (S.Berlusconi, Prime Minister of Italy and owner of AC Milan - ed.)."

According to the English newspaper "The Sun", the Ukrainian has already purchased a 400 square meter villa on April`s Fool Street in London for 8 million pounds.
