Danny Miguel - Zenit to Chelsea? Portugal playmaker Danny hopes to prove Chelsea he is still worth a £25million move after recovering from a career-threatening knee injury. The 26-year-old insists he was on the verge of a mega-move to Stamford Bridge before rupturing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee while training with Zenit St Petersburg 10 months ago. Danny is set to play his first competitive match since returning to fitness when Zenit kick off their Russian Premier League season at Krylya Sovetov on Saturday, and expects Chelsea scouts to keep tabs on him. 'The injury made it a very difficult time for me,' he said recently. 'It prevented my transfer to Chelsea, for example, and even before the injury, I nearly went to Juventus. 'But I understand their position. They have to think twice before hiring a player who has an injury.' Zenit will seek to recoup the huge fee of about £25m, which they paid for Danny when making him their replacement for Arsenal-bound Andrey Arshavin in August 2008. ----------------------------------------------- Source:- The Daily Mail Date Posted:- 11th March 2010 ----------------------------------------------- Too injury prone for my liking, but it seems like he's a decent player. Though 5 goals in 18 appearances for Zenit isn't all that impressive.
