Chelsea move to the head of the pack of clubs in the market for Valencia's talented striker David Villa, the News of the World understands.
Despite the prolificness of Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka, collectively responsible for 37 goals so far this season, the Blues could enter the summer market for a striking addition.
Los Che, the News of the World reports, will reluctantly accept bids that exceed £30 million due to the precarious nature of their finances.
Real Madrid may rival Chelsea for Villa's signature, but Madrid could give Karim Benzema an extra chance to prove himself following the Frenchman's high-profile transfer from Olympique Lyonnais.
Villa, 28, has - true to form - returned a commendable goal record so far this season. He has struck 15 goals from 21 appearances in Spain's Primera Division, and is rivalling Barcelona's World Player of the Year Lionel Messi for the Pichichi.
