Chelsea poised to sign Andre Schurrle
CHELSEA are in pole position to snaffle Andre Schurrle in the summer.
The Blues have been on Schurrle's trail for a while as they look to increase firepower.
Although Fernando Torres helped himself to a double last night in the Blues' 3-1 win over Rubin Kazan in the Europa League, fears have not subsided about whether he will be able to recapture his form of yesteryear.
And now it seems that Chelsea will be involved in a part-exchange deal for Schurrle.
German paper Express claims Chelsea will spend £22m on Schurrle and De Bruyne will go out on loan to Leverkusen.
Leverkusen boss Sami Hyypia is reluctant to let Schurrle leave: "Every coach wants to keep the best players of his team.
"We will certainly try and keep him. Andr has shown how important he is for us.
"If he performs like against Dusseldorf [where he scored a brace in Leverkusen's 4-1 last weekend], this would be very good."
