Three new stars set for Roman’s revolution

CHELSEA chief executive Peter Kenyon says the new Premiership champions are targeting three key players to join the Roman Abramovich revolution over the summer.

That would represent a far less hectic close season than the last two at Stamford Bridge since Roman Abramovich's buy-out of the club in July 2003, but fits in with manager Jose Mourinho's desire to have a lean squad with two top-class players for each position.

Early indications are that Chelsea are lining up a deal for Javier Mascherano, the outstanding young Argentina midfield player, who will join them after next year's World Cup finals.
