Shevchenko returns to AC Milan

Filed Under Football

Ukraine international Andriy Shevchenko has completed his move to AC Milan from Chelsea after passing a medical. The 31-year-old spent two seasons in west London after signing from Milan for about £30m in 2006, but has failed to make an impact at Stamford Bridge.

“I’m so very happy to be here,” he told the Italian club’s official website. “At this special moment, I want to send a message to the Chelsea fans who have always made me feel their support. A heartfelt thank you for that.”

Shevchenko, AC Milan’s second-most prolific goalscorer of all-time, with 127 goals from 208 games, was unable to hold down a regular spot at Chelsea, scoring only nine goals in 47 appearances, but is held in high regard by Milan’s fans and staff.
