Chelsea: Jarosik signs for Chelsea

CSKA Moscow midfielder Jiri Jarosik has admitted he is flattered to be linked with a move to Chelsea.

Chelsea are believed to be keen on signing the Czech Republic international on loan for the rest of the season.

Blues boss Jose Mourinho is looking at making a foray into the transfer market after losing Scott Parker to long-term injury and has made a new midfielder his top priority.

Jarosik is thought to have impressed Mourinho when he came up against Chelsea in the UEFA Champions League.

Jarosik revealed he was excited by the reported interest in him.

when they played rangers he looked real good tooo. this CSKA moscow are also bankrolled by billioniare Roman, so maybe it will be easy to do a deal.

well. they player has spoken and it sounds like he wants to join chelsea

[qoute]Czech star Jiri Jarosik wants to seal a move to Chelsea and he is now hoping Roman Abramovich prompts a deal to be done.

CSKA Moscow are not keen on losing one of their prized assets, but they are also owned by Chelsea supremo Roman Abramovich.

The Russian billionaire would obviously not be keen on upsetting CSKA, but Chelsea could very well push for a move to be done on Jarosik.

The 27-year-old, who joined CSKA in January 2003, is seemingly very keen on a move to Chelsea.

the player has flown in for talks

Czech midfielder Jiri Jarosik has flown to London to open talks over a possible move to Premiership leaders Chelsea.

The CSKA Moscow player left Monday, with his two agents Pavel Zika and Viktor Kolar, to meet with Blues manager Jose Mourinho and officials from the Stamford Bridge club on Tuesday.

Mourinho had stated his interest in adding a midfielder to his squad and has targeted the former Sparta Prague man after facing the 27-year-old when CSKA played Chelsea in the group stages of this season's UEFA Champions League.

Jarosik told the Czech News Agency of his delight at having the chance to sign for the West London club.

"I only know I'm supposed to have a personal talk with coach Mourinho," Jarosik said before boarding a plane to London.

"I can't say anymore at this time, but the interest of this kind of team would delight every player."

Jarosik's agent, Pavel Zika, expressed his optimism that talks can conclude in a deal being reached.

"I'm optimistic, but the negotiations will take place on Tuesday," said Zika.

"The opinion of the coach will play a great role."

The midfielder's other representative, Viktor Kolar, told Czech television that a six-month loan deal may be an option during the negotiations.

yer, noticed this, not a loan, any idea on how much he has cost them? not too bad to do business when the chairman owns both teams

I havn't come across an article on how much he was.

I will be waiting to see him play as i don't really know what he is like, but i guess he must be pretty useful..

yer, i think this is cos of scott parker injury, and if it gonna be a 2 year deal and a half. i cant see parker staying

Yeah, maybe Parker will go before the new season starts.

Shame really i think Parker is a very good player...

yer, when parker gets injury free, how is he going to get ahead of this guy. shame he is injured as no1 will want to take a injured player. mourinho must have thought jarosik is worth more than a loan deal.

for the price, according to a report in a paper i read, it said he cost 3 million
