Chelsea striker Fernando Torres to join AC Milan on a two-year loan deal

Chelsea striker Fernando Torres is to join AC Milan on a two-year loan deal.

The Spaniard's move is subject to him agreeing personal terms and passing a medical on Saturday.

The ex-Liverpool and Atletico Madrid forward joined Chelsea for a then-British record £50m in January 2011.

Torres scored 20 goals in 110 league appearances during his spell at Stamford Bridge.

He scored 65 goals in 102 league appearances during his time in Merseyside.

Manager Jose Mourinho said: "If he wants to leave, it's because he wants to try a new life, a new club, probably a new league."

Torres had struggled during his time at Chelsea, finding first team appearances limited.
