Just read this on LFC.tv:
Chelsea have admitted they would be interested in signing Steven Gerrard if Liverpool gave any hint that he was available for transfer.
The Liverpool skipper has been strongly linked with a move to London over the past week and Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon last night revealed billionaire owner Roman Abramovich would bankroll a massive bid for Gerrard if the Reds were willing to sell.
"Gerrard is recognised, along with Frank Lampard, as one of the best midfielders in the country," said Kenyon.
"If it were to be possible, then we would be genuinely interested. It has been interesting to see how well he (Gerrard) has played with Frank Lampard.
"It is speculation at this stage, but if he was to become available we would be interested in Gerrard."
New Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has admitted he would welcome Gerrard to Stamford Bridge if they managed to persuade Liverpool to sell their star man.
"I don't know the distance between the dream and the reality," he said.
"The only thing I can say is, if he comes, I will wait for him with open arms.
"If he doesn't come, I will admire him exactly the same and wish him all the best - even if he stays at Liverpool."
Sex, drugs and sausage rolls!
