Chelsea Football Club may get the opportunity to sign David Villa in the New Year.

The Blues have been linked with the Spanish international striker for some time, whilst Liverpool and Manchester United are also said to be interested.

Valencia have in the past been reluctant to part with their prized asset, but the Daily Star claim their crippling debts could lead to his sale in the New Year.

Carlo Ancelotti can buy in January after the Londoner’s transfer embargo was temporarily lifted, and the signing of Villa, rated at around £30million, would be a huge coup.
