Chelsea in Kaka hunt

Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed he wants Brazil star Kaka to spearhead his revolution at Stamford Bridge (Chelsea 6/4f - Premier League 2010/11).

The Italian knows the Real Madrid playmaker well from their time together at AC Milan and the Blues need a new schemer after allowing Michael Ballack and Joe Cole to leave on free transfers.

Kaka endured an injury-plagued first season in Spain but whether or not former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho would sanction a sale remains a sticking point.

Ancelotti told the People: "Kaka would do well for my cause and I speak to him on a regular basis.

"It would be a multi-million pound operation."

Ancelotti is breathing new life into his Chelsea squad despite ending Manchester United's three-year reign as Premier League champions last season.

Blues owner Roman Abramovich is known to be desperate to win the Champions League and the addition of Kaka would be a major statement of intent (Chelsea 6/1 - Champions League 2010/11 Outright).
