LONDON (AFP) - AC Milan midfielder Gennaro Gattuso admits he would consider following Carlo Ancelotti to Chelsea.
Gattuso is unhappy that Ancelotti has quit the San Siro and the Italy star, who has already been linked with a switch to Stamford Bridge, conceded his close relationship with his former boss could tempt him to the Premier League.
"I like the Premier League. The Premier League is the best league for me, for my characteristics," he said in the Daily Mirror.
"I don't know what will happen. I have been at AC Milan a long time and it's not easy to go away, but we'll have to see.
"Chelsea are a big, big team but working with Ancelotti is a good feeling. We have worked together for eight years and he is for me a second father. He is a great person, and a great manager."

Come to Arsenal, a club that actually need you...
if any team need to do something in their midfield, it should be man u after losing CR7 and seeing that scholes has passed his time and anderson not matured to do the job yet. fletcher, average player . i think chelsea have the best midfield blend with Essien, lanpard, mikel and balck followed by liverpool with mascharano, steven G and alonso. these players have been tested and proven in the area they cover but i can see any proved and inform midfielder at MU at the moment. scholes proven but done with the game and that was it. that showed in ur game with barca as no one was in there to so the job thereby starving the attack line and putting more preasure on the defence. i don't talk football cos others are doing so. i only say things i know which turned to be "FACTS" like benitez use to say. faccccccccctttttttttttttttttttsssssssssssssss.
dazmanutd, will u play poul scholes in ur midfield with his recent age and form now if you were to be a coach, i know u won't , in the same way, i will not play Gatuso in my team cos of his previous exploitsn in the midfield. the yr moves and we should move along , stop living in ur past mr "dazmanutd. i am of the opinion that aged players should retire and ingage in some other areas of the game or go to smaller teams where the expections are now high. there is a stake in every big club in football and players who cant fight the cause should'nt be given a call to do so cos it will end up with disappointment which will not benefit the player nor his enployers , let alone the fans.
finally, will u sign MO cos he scored a lot of wonderful goals for England?,
no, .we (CFC) we are trying to do away with michael balack and deco whom both have atleast two yrs left in their active football career ahead of ur Gatuso who can't tie a shirt in mailan, even with the pace of serie A' come to think of it. common ask those who knows a about the game or players if u know nothing about it.
dazmanutd or whatever you call urself, It's sad u re interfering in the afair of chelsea and their players by recomending a player for them and criticising the a CFC player. thats too far from a fan from another club as a contributuon. being that u liked Gatuso and would have loved it if he was signed two yrs ago. why not now that he's free and what made u think u have a better midfield than chelsea?. I guess u should remove what u have in ur eyes b4 pointing at that in anothers'eyes. mikel is trying and we won't switch him with any of ur (MU) midfielf and he can only get better and better having age by his side unlike ur Gatuso who barely had a game in milan last season. we don't want him. he's history as far as football is concerned. he should do like maldini cos that would be the best i would recomend for him. i enjoyed his lively days. so sad he's history now.
yes dazza where u from?
my mates a big man utd u sound just like him?
he would be a good signing for chelsea as he is 10 times better at holding midfield and breaking up the other teams moves than mikel that would also release essien more as at the moment chelsea are wasting his box to box talents cos of where he is being played gattuso would be as good at chelsea as makelele was at madrid i would have loved united to have signed gattuso 2 years ago when our midfield was struggling but i think hargreaves does the same job when he is fit wonder if the chelsea fans want him though
