    Sheva set for Milan return

    20 Aug 2008 - 11:03:46

    Chelsea striker Andriy Shevchenko will end his unsuccessful spell in the Premier League and return to AC Milan this week, according to reports in Italy.

    The 31-year-old Ukraine international joined the Blues in a £30milion deal in 2006, but will be allowed to return to Milan after a disappointing two-year stay in England.

    Shevchenko has started just 30 Premier League games during his time in London and was left out of the 18-man squad for last weekend's season opener against Portsmouth.

    The former Dynamo Kyiv striker has scored 22 goals in 76 appearances in all competitions for the Stamford Bridge club.

    However, his record in Milan is markedly better, having scored 127 goals in just 208 games prior to his departure.

    The Rossoneri are also desperate to boost their striking options with Ronaldinho and Alexandre Pato away on Olympic duty with Brazil and Marco Borriello and Pippo Inzaghi currently injured.

    The reports from Italy claim Shevchenko's return was sealed following a meeting between Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich and Milan counterpart Silvio Berlusconi in Sardinia last week.

    He is likely to rejoin Milan on a season-long loan basis ahead of a potential permanent signing next summer.
