It is rumoured that AC Milan are chasing FIVE Chelsea players including Didier Drogba and Michael Essien. It is thought that Milan’s Vice President Adriano Galliani has compiled a list of eight players he wants to bring to the San Siro – The Italian champions plan to make dramatic changes to their squad.
Not only are they interested in Didier Drogba but also his strike partner Nicolas Anelka, this follows the rumours that new boss Andre Villas-Boas will go after Radamel Falaco from his old club Porto.
The other Blues believed to be on the list are Michael Essien, Alex and Salomon Kalou, fans will not be too disappointed to see the latter leave but the first two is a different story.
Whilst Villa-Boas is not under pressure to sell players, he is likely to want to keep his squad at manageable size.
As well as the five Chelsea stars it is though Galliani is also keen to bring Kaka back to the club as well as signing Bayern Munich pair and Arjen Robben and Bastian Schweinsteiger.

I think Chelsea should cash-in on the likes of Drogba,Anelka,Essien but Kalou should stay,he's future is at the bridge. He's a super sub.
Take Anelka. And Drogba if he wants to leave.
The Chelsea of 2011-12…

if we are going to sell any of these players to milan at least lets get something other than money from this as we are not really short on that. i say do a swap deal for pato seeing as it looks like we are going to miss out on neymar we need someone with flair. and if they are after so many players im sure we can give them like anelka and kalou plus £10m for him.
I have to disagree with some of this article, repectfully of course…i personally think we should off load Anelka, and put kalou out on loan…the addition i'd love to see would be neymar, modric, pastore, and maybe some young full backs…but i think alex essien, drogba and kalou should stay, all fantastic players and four players that got us out of situations last year! another un sung hero we need to keep is Yuri Zhirkov, he's electric when he gets a game!!!!
Personally, I would hate to see Michael Essien and Didier Drogba leave … would be happy to see Kalou go.
Sadly another season before Daniel Sturridge is ready to play week-in and week-out ….
Zhirkov is an excellent player who should get more game time.

completely the best team ever!!!!!!!
The only way we are going to sell Drogba is if we get Lakaku nd Falcao. As for Kalou r u crazy? he scored 10 goals in 12 matches last season 5 of which were as a sub! supersub or what? he is the perfect replacement for Malouda who only scores wen we are alreeady winning 3-0 so give milan Anelka, Malouda. As for Essien sell him 4 £15m Mikel played better than him yet. Sturridge aint going nowhere 8 goal in 11 games 4 a tesm like bolton! send him on loan to Stoke or Sunderland nd 2012/2013 season he'll be 22 bring him into the first team if anyone isn't playing well
