Inter Milan striker Hernan Crespo has been linked with a move to Chelsea but said he will not make any decision until he has consulted his agent.

Barcelona are also thought to be tracking the Argentina star.

Crespo told the Daily Express: "I've just returned from holiday and am very relaxed about my future although I have read the rumours I'm wanted by Chelsea and Barcelona.

"I've heard nothing officially yet and won't make any decision about my future until I'm advised by my agent Fernando Hidalgo."

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has already spent more than £70 million sterling on players since buying the club.
