But the way the news is coming up sounds more like a Commercial Business than a Sport type...

BLUES WANT CHU ... Chu-Young Park

CHELSEA are weighing up a move for South Korea World Cup star Chu-Young Park.

The Monaco striker's representatives met with Blues boss Carlo Ancelotti, sporting director Frank Arnesen and chief executive Ron Gourlay before their opening-day 6-0 win against West Brom.

And Chelsea will decide within the next 48 hours whether to meet Monaco's £8million asking price for the 25-year-old - who started all four of South Korea's games at this summer's World Cup.

The deal could give Chelsea a chance to break into the lucrative Far East market, where Park is second only to Manchester United's Ji-Sung Park in terms of stature.

Chelsea will play against a Thailand All Stars XI in Bangkok next summer as part of their pre-season preparations and may go on to tour South Korea.

If Park was playing then the club could charge up to £2m in match fees which, along with increased shirt sales, would make the deal virtually self-sufficient.

And the Premier League champions also hope it would encourage sponsors Samsung - whose current deal runs until the end of the 2012-13 season - to extend their contract.

If we were to get an asian player I rather go for Honda.

the stats i`ve found on him state that since moving into European football with Monaco,he has played 67 Games and scored 14 goals. hardly a goal machine but hardly an out and out striker either.

Story is from The Sun tho...so may be absolutely no truth in it atall..

I dont think he would make much of an impact on this team.

No... It's impossible. If we buy him, Kalou, Sturridge, Borini would come ahead of him.

It's just an average player in a mid-table Team (=Monaco) in an average championship (Ligue 1)...

Maybe a good player for the reserve ? lol.
