Blues star set for move

Tuesday, 02/08/2011

Defender Yuri Zhirkov looks set to leave Chelsea.

The full back could join Russian Premier League side Anzhi Makhachkala in a £15m switch.

Anzhi are believed to have agreed a four-year deal with the 27-year-old.

Zhirkov has made just 29 Premier League appearances for the Blues since joining them two years ago from CSKA Moscow in an £18m move.

His route to the first-team has been blocked by the form of Ashley Cole.
