PSG remain the one other club that could currently face Chelsea for the signature of Brazilian hot shot Hulk.

The 25 year old has only just suggested that he would love to be reunited with his former Porto manager Andre Villas Boas at Stamford Bridge but with the club currently mulling over a move for Real Madrid’s Gonzalo Higuain, and a deal very much in place to bring Milos Krasic from Juventus, any move for the goal scorer will have to wait until the summer.

PSG’s new found wealth has unsettled the market somewhat with certain players now choosing the cash on offer in Paris as more of a incentive than joining a side in the hunt for top trophies. PSG were also the side who were able to tempt Chelsea target Javier Pastore into a Paris move last summer when it seemed almost certain at one stage that he would be heading to London.

Hulk’s admission though that he would like to join his old manager though will add weight to Chelsea’s chances regardless of how big a carrot the Parisian’s decide to dangle in front of him. A possible stumbling block will also be the transfer fee which Porto will demand and although he has a clause of close to £80m, a figure of £35m would seem more realistic.

Although both Chelsea and PSG would be able to pay that type of money purely as a transfer fee his wages will also add some uncertainty and his availability is likely to receive interest from other clubs too.

Chelsea FC may use current centre-back Alex as a makewight as they try to land Krasic from Serie A side Juventus.

The Brazilian defender recently handed in a transfer request, rumoured to be due to fancying a warmer climate and with the West London side keen to land the Juve playmaker, Turin could be tempting to Alex for a switch.

Although Turin is perhaps not the warmest of Italian cities it could suit the player and with Chelsea looking to land 27 year old Krasic it would seem to make sense.

The agent of Milos Krasic has already claimed that he will be leaving the club this January with interest confirmed by both Chelsea and some fellow Italian sides. Although his value is not of the meteoric levels one has expected with Chelsea over the years his ability will be considered as required with the Stamford Bridge squad.

With Chelsea close to sealing a move for Bolton’s Gary Cahill, and Krasic’s arrival very likely, the New Year may bring better fortunes for Andre Villas Boas than the first hald of the season.

As ever and ever, the Derby between Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea did not disappoint, although a quick look at which could bring 1-1 against the impression that the game was pretty boring. Emmanuel Adebayor scored in the ninth minute Spurs which give early lead, but Daniel Sturridge had secured the equalizer from 25. The next 65++ minutes can been goalless, but they were certainly not boring.

The hosts began the ball for the first ten minutes shiny, as Chelsea touch you. While we all know that possession no longer the beacon many commentators believe to be the frail Blues defence could wave after wave of the Spurs to resist pressure. After about the fourth or fifth time, Gareth Bale tearing down the flank was getting in the way, he headed to the ball to Adebayor without John Terry hatch. The Spurs forward beat easily Petr Cech to it on the back of the net.

Adebayor of objective revive some again visiting attack when Chelsea finally began to put their own pressure some. It was Sturridge, who get the goal for the Blues, at the end of a beautiful Ashley Cole cross, the ball on the back of the net bag packed.

But then things started to disintegrate for Chelsea. Branislav Ivanovic locked was his thigh and although the Serbian at least in part been responsible for the Adebayor goal, a look at the Bank showed that him to replace only right-back Paulo Ferreira available,. André villas Boas had no other choice, and José Bosingwa moved to central defence. As if that weren’t enough, John Obi Mikel, had come from before the whistle blew for the end of June, maintaining his own injuries, even though at least there was a replacement in Oriol Romeu.

By half time, spurs were however carried out ideas. Harry Rednapp moved Rafael van der Vaart for the second half, replaced him, for some unknown reason with Roman Pavlyuchenko. For the first ten minutes of the second, it seemed as both teams still tried to catch their breath. But then chaos broke out again.

Both teams managed to the ball at least once again put on the back of the net: Juan Mata a goal far away, had been determined, the same for Chelsea during a second Adebayor, or perhaps excluded for foul on Bosingwa during the peak until. But even if the ball in the one or the other network not was landing it was ping to the pitch as in a crazy game of Pinball. PING! Inches wide of Brad Friedel objective. PING! John Terry fantastic blocks to refuse Gareth Bale. PING! Chelsea midfielder sends the ball in the 10th row. You get the picture.

The Division of the spoils brings spurs for the third place on seven points behind Manchester United, while nine behind Manchester City, and even a game in hand. Chelsea stay fourth there is very little but positive to take from today’s performance.

Carlo Ancelotti will see out the remainder of the season as Chelsea’s manager but is expected to leave in the summer as the club come to terms with what will be only the third season of the Roman Abramovich era to fail to yield a trophy.

Elimination from the Champions League on Tuesday by Manchester United, whom Chelsea trail by 11 points in the Premier League, prompted Ancelotti to admit that it was “not my decision” as to whether he would see out the remaining year on his contract. The Italian knows he will be compensated for that period if he is sacked and has yet to speak directly with Abramovich about his future. The club’s chief executive, Ron Gourlay, has indicated that an assessment will only be made next month.

Abramovich visited the dressing room following the 2-1 second-leg defeat, urging the crestfallen players to “keep going” through the run-in, an indication that no announcement on the manager’s position is imminent. Yet there is an expectation within the squad that Ancelotti will depart.

He and his staff, who were back at Cobham overseeing a light training session on Wednesday, accept such a relatively disappointing season will thrust the focus on their performances. They, like the players, remain committed to finishing the season with a flourish, which could see them overhaul Arsenal and go second. “We win together, we lose together,” the goalkeeper Petr Cech said. “We need to finish the season strongly for ourselves, for the club, for everybody. We are not only playing for the manager or the owner. We are playing for the entire club.”

Chelsea’s planning is not helped by the fact that the sporting director, Frank Arnesen, is due to leave for Hamburg at the end of the season. The Dane would have played a key role in the recruitment of a new manager, but his own replacement has yet to be determined.

The list of candidates would include some familiar names though José Mourinho – who still commands fierce loyalty from a faction within the Chelsea squad – has stated his intention to remain in Spain and Guus Hiddink, a previous interim manager at the Bridge, would likely only be available once Turkey’s Euro 2012 qualification campaign is complete. That could be as late as November.

The former Italy manager Marcello Lippi expressed an interest on Wednesday. “I’d like to coach Chelsea and the Premier League fascinates me,” he said. “I’ve had a satisfying year [off], but I miss coaching.” Yet the lack of an obvious and available replacement for Ancelotti will effectively see him through to the summer. The reserve-team manager, Steve Holland, had been mentioned as a possible stopgap until the end of the campaign because he has the relevant coaching badges, though that notion has been abandoned.

Whoever is in charge over the close season will have to oversee the continued regeneration of the team, with the exodus of older squad members expected to be quickened by the side’s failure to reach the latter stages of the Champions League. Didier Drogba, José Bosingwa, Paulo Ferreira and Nicolas Anelka will be entering the final years of their contracts and will effectively be available.

The Joy of Six: Arsenal v Chelsea

From an anti-football encounter in 1966 to high-scoring romps in the 1990s, here are six classic Arsenal v Chelsea games

1) Arsenal 1-1 Chelsea (December 1919)

Arsenal and Chelsea may not do each other many favours nowadays but that wasn’t always the case. After the first world war, football restarted in the summer of 1919, and, thanks to the Arsenal chairman and Tory grandee Sir Henry Norris, it was set to be a whole new ball game. With the top division expanding from 20 to 22 clubs after the big hiatus, it had been expected – as had happened in the league’s two previous expansions – that the two clubs in the previous season’s relegation places (1914-15 stragglers Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur) would be offered a reprieve, while the top two in the Second (Derby County and Preston North End) would go up as normal. Ah but.

Norris argued that Spurs should go down as expected but that Chelsea should stay up. His argument? Manchester United would have been in their relegation shoes instead, had they not beaten Liverpool in a 1915 match later proven to be fixed. Chelsea were reprieved and looked forward to a season in the top flight alongside newly promoted Derby and Preston. The league’s members would vote for the other team to join Chelsea in the top tier. And so it was that infamously – outrageously – Arsenal, fifth-placed in the Second Division in 1914-15, prevailed over Spurs, and Second Division high-flyers Wolves and Burnley, all of whom had ended the previous season above the Gunners in the league ladder.

Clever Henry! Norris had swung the vote by not pushing the morals of the 1915 fixing scandal so far as to demand United or Liverpool be punished for their players’ misdemeanours, winning the trust of many big clubs. Other chairmen were impressed with the MP’s contacts outside of the game, and his close relationship with the League (and Liverpool) chairman “Honest” John McKenna. Oh, and there were accusations of bribes having been flung around willy-nilly, but nothing was ever proved. When Spurs finally made it to the top flight, the fixture would soon kick off: the 1922 version saw two men dismissed – unusually for the time – while fans fought pitched battles in the streets outside Highbury. By comparison, the first game after the Norris affair between Arsenal and Chelsea, consolidating in the top division in December 1919, was a curiously pleasant affair. The spoils were shared in a suspiciously symmetrical match, Chelsea on top in the first half, their hosts in the second. Go figure.

2) Arsenal 2-4 Chelsea (March 1964)

Chelsea won their first and only pre-Mourinho championship in 1954-55 under the auspices of Ted Drake, but a series of mid-table finishes, and a slow start in 1961-62, saw the former Arsenal legend sacked and replaced by Tommy Docherty. The Doc’s first game in charge was a 4-0 tonking at Blackpool, and at the end of the season Chelsea were relegated. But they bounced straight back with a side built around Peter Bonetti, Ron Harris, Terry Venables, and their young captain Bobby Tambling.

Their first season back in the top flight was, for such a young team, a triumph. The standout result was a 4-2 win at Highbury, Tambling scoring all four goals on a mudbath, capitalising on three mistakes by Ian Ure, the other a delicious lob. Before the game, Arsenal – built around the attacking talents of George Eastham, Joe Baker and George Armstrong, had held faint hopes of sustaining a title challenge, but they’d been found out. The result seemed to set both teams down very different roads. Chelsea finished in fifth, three places ahead of out-of-puff Arsenal. Docherty’s side were instantly anointed as one of the teams of the decade. Tambling scored in their victorious League Cup final against Leicester in 1965, and the 1967 FA Cup final defeat to Spurs. And the club would round off the decade with their first FA Cup win in 1969-70. Arsenal meanwhile …

3) Chelsea 0-0 Arsenal (February 1966)

Since their elevation to the top flight in 1919, Arsenal surely haven’t endured a more humiliating season than the one they suffered in 1965-66. Losing 17 games along the way, they ended the season in 14th place, a mere four points ahead of relegated Northampton Town. Northampton Town. Further shamings included a 3-0 home thumping by Leeds United in front of 4,544 paying spectators, the lowest crowd since the war, and the fact that they spent the campaign running around in all-red shirts, having ditched their classic white sleeves in favour of modernity.

But perhaps the lowest point – if not statistically, then artistically – came after a goalless draw against Chelsea. For a club of Arsenal’s grandeur, steeped in classical values, taking an elegant kicking from one of the greatest sports journalists of all time ranks as low as it gets. “Chelsea are of 1966,” the Observer’s John Arlott began. Arsenal were “still struggling to move out of the 1950s … they callously garrotted the game for a point. Chelsea played through their hand of the spare man, the overlapping full-back, the through-running half-back, the withdrawn centre-forward, and the forward chip … time after time Chelsea slid the ball from defence to construction, only to end in a thicket of anti-football.” Ouch. And all juxtaposed with the dash of local rivals; that it had come to this for the famous Arsenal. But like a recovering alcoholic, at least they had bottomed out: the manager Billy Wright was sacked at the end of the campaign to be replaced by Bertie Mee, the white sleeves soon quietly reinstated.

4) Arsenal 5-2 Chelsea (April 1979)

During the 1970s, both teams flagged after spectacular starts to the decade. Arsenal won the league and Cup Double in 1971, only to drift. Chelsea followed up their 1970 FA Cup win with the Cup Winners’ Cup a year later – at which point they decided to expand Stamford Bridge with a massive East Stand. Up went the stand, and down went Chelsea, the new edifice swallowing up all of the club’s cash, the signing of new players suddenly a pipe dream. Eddie McCreadie, one of the stars of the 1960s, led Chelsea back up, with a team built around Butch “Let’s Not Forget Ray Was Known At This Time As Butch” Wilkins. But they were soon struggling again: boardroom rows meant McCreadie was replaced by another star of the previous decade, Ken Shellito, who in turn was soon supplanted by Danny Blanchflower.

The captain of Tottenham’s 1961 Double winners soon found out that “doing things in style” and the pursuit of “glory” is much easier at a club who have John White rather than Trevor Aylott on the books. In 1978-79, Chelsea won only five league games all season, the killer blow being landed with a spectacular flourish by Arsenal. David O’Leary, Frank Stapleton (2), Alan Sunderland and David Price sent Chelsea down – “in all but arithmetic fantasy,” reported the Guardian – with the bedraggled west Londoners’ only brief joy coming from terrace favourite Tommy Langley’s thriker. To compound Chelsea’s misery, Arsenal finished the season by lifting the FA Cup.

5) Arsenal 4-1 Chelsea (September 1990)

On the same weekend as this early-season result, reigning champions Liverpool walloped Manchester United 4-0 at Anfield, a Peter Beardsley hat-trick securing their fifth win in the first five league games. Arsenal’s equally impressive win over Chelsea went almost unnoticed by comparison, though it would have more resonance during the rest of the campaign.

It was a tight match, goalless until the 52nd minute, at which point Arsenal’s new signing turned the game on its head. Anders Limpar scored the first, and had a hand in another two of the three more goals Arsenal would score in a frantic 21-minute period. A Chelsea side boasting Tony Dorigo, Andy Townsend and Kerry Dixon had no answer. And neither, in the long run, did Liverpool, whose hat-trick hero Beardsley spent the rest of the season in and out of the team. Limpar, though, had announced himself on the big stage – and there would be no more influential player all season as Arsenal romped to the title.

6) Arsenal 0-5 Chelsea (November 1998)

In recent years, both clubs have had their fair share of spectacular away-days. Arsenal’s two 2-3 wins at Stamford Bridge towards the end of the 1990s take some beating: Nigel Winterburn’s blistering last-minute bolt from the blue in September 1997; Kanu’s outrageous shimmy and shake on the byline to complete a 15-minute comeback hat-trick in October 1999.

Chelsea fans meanwhile have recently enjoyed two emphatic results at the Emirates, taking four and three pieces of candy from Arsène’s babies respectively in their last two visits. And they may not like Wayne Bridge much now, but that palpably wasn’t the case when the defender raked in a late winner at Highbury in the 2003-04 Champions League quarter finals.

But sometimes when there’s a cigarette paper between all the results, the biggest just has to be the best. Chelsea’s 0-5 thumping of an Arsenal select XI in November 1998 wasn’t Arsenal’s heaviest home defeat – that was a 6-0 thrashing by Derby County in the first round of the 1899-1900 FA Cup – but nothing similar has been meted out in modern times. OK, so Arsenal had only put out the reserves plus a recovering Dennis Bergkamp, but let the result do the talking, and let Chelsea take the crown here; Arsenal can console themselves with what happened in the 2002 FA Cup final, after all.
