Chelsea bag Zhirkov

Chelsea have agreed a deal to sign winger Yuri Zhirkov from CSKA Moscow.

The 25 year old Russian International was recommended to Blues owner Roman Abramovich by former caretaker boss Guus Hiddink, coach of the Russian National team.

Zhirkov can play as left-back but it is expected that he will be employed in a left-wing role.

The move is expected to signal the end Joe Cole's England career, with Tottenham currently interested, along with many others.
