Former Ukraine coach Blokhin offers Shevchenko FC Moscow lifeboat

Oleg Blokhin is bidding to end Andriy Shevchenko's woe at Chelsea and take him to Russia. The former Ukrainian coach is now in charge at FC Moscow.

And he wants Sheva, despite the £30million striker scoring just six Premier League goals in 18 months at Stamford Bridge.

Shevchenko celebrates a rare Chelsea goal

Blokhin told the Sun: "We need at least one pacy forward. I'd love to see Andriy Shevchenko here.

"We worked together successfully with the Ukrainian national team.

"Not everything is going right for him in England but a player of his class would strengthen any team." Sheva's £130,000-a-week wage could be a problem.
