Chelsea to bid £42million for "Kun!"

Reports: Chelsea are set to launch a £42million bid for Sergio "Kun" Aguero of Atletico Madrid.

The blues see the Argentine magician as the ideal mad to work at the tip of Ancelotti's preferred diamond formation.

After a lack lustre display on saturday at home to Hull, won at the death by Drogba, a game Abramovich was present at, he will know his side still needs that missing spark.

The first stumbling block will be Atletico's Champions League qualifier on wednesday which should Aguero play in, perhaps would end any discussions, with the result that he would be ineligible to play in the Champions League with any new club. So Chelsea will look to race through any bid before this time.

Enquiries were made earlier in the summer, but Chelsea baulked at the wage demands of in excess of £100,000 a week net, but Abramovich still wants to back his man in Ancelotti and Aguero would fit the marquee signing that Chairman Bruce Buck earlier stated the club were pursuing this summer.
