Soccer: Paris St Germain coach Carlo Ancelotti claims he has been offered Fernando Torres, Dimitar Berbatov and Roman Pavlyuchenko during this month's transfer window.

A whole host of names have been linked with a switch to the French capital this month as Ancelotti looks to bring in his own players.
