Andre Schurrle has admitted it would have been hard to turn down the chance to join Chelsea if Bayer Leverkusen had accepted an offer from the Blues for his signature.

Leverkusen rejected Chelsea's offer -reportedly £20 million - for Schurrle, 21, as the Bundesliga club felt they would be unable to find a suitable replacement.

"I don't think you would find any player in the Bundesliga who would say that they would not at all be interested," Schurrle said.

"Chelsea would have been very interesting for me. You don't get a chance like that very often in your life."

However, Germany international Schurrle, who joined Leverkusen from Mainz in 2011, respects his club's decision.

"[Director of sport] Rudi Voller has explained the reasoning to me several times," he told Kicker magazine. "They could not find a suitable replacement and I am too important to Bayer."

I don't think Schurrle is what Chelsea needs, the team is stacked with wingers and wing forwards, what is missing is an out and out centre forward to serve as back up to Torres, when Lukaku goes on loan. I'd prefer a cheap option like Demba Ba, whose a proven goalscorer in the Premier League with West Ham and Newcastle, and would cost just 7 million pounds, plus low wages.
