Chelsea FC to sell Nicolas Anelka and sign Alexis Sanchez and Falcao?

Chelsea are reportedly ready to sell striker Nicolas Anelka as they look to bring Alexis Sanchez and Falcao to the club

Udinese winger Sanchez is high on Chelsea's list of summer transfer targets, with the Blues battling with Barcelona to sign the Chile international.

New Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas is also believed to be keen on raiding former club for Columbia international Falcao, although reports last month suggested he could face competition from Real Madrid.

Reports in Portugal last week claimed 25-year-old Falcao, who has already stated he wants to play in the Premier League, had already agreed personal terms with the Blues.

And according to the News of the World, Chelsea are ready to offload France international Anelka in order to sign Falcao before their upcoming pre-season tour of the Far East.

Villas-Boas prefers a 4-3-3 formation, which could lead to Anelka's departure, with Paris Saint-Germain a possible destination.

Chelsea's bid to sign Sanchez was given a boost on Saturday after Barcelona's bid was seemingly hampered as a result of Jeffren Suarez refusing to join Udinese as part of the deal.

Reports in Spain had suggested the Catalans were looking to complete a deal for the 22-year-old no later than Tuesday. But Jeffren's father has stated that his son, who has been linked with a move to Liverpool, has no plans to join the Serie A side
