However, a £12.6million transfer was BLOCKED by British sanctions placed on Russia.

There was also the expected difficulty in obtaining a work permit for Zakharyan from the Home Office.

Despite this, Zakharyan is determined to seal a dream transfer to Chelsea and break into the first-team.

Zakharyan told Russia’s Comment Show: "My agents and my club have told me that a request has come from Chelsea.

"I have directly said my position is that I want to join Chelsea.

"I know that there is a good competition in my position with Mount, Havertz, Gallagher, so I don’t mind going on loan to adapt to the European league.

"I was stressed because I wanted this transfer.

"Right now I have Chelsea and I want to go to Chelsea.

"I know that other clubs are interested in me, I am proud of that but I want to go to Chelsea."

The technical midfielder is enjoying a successful campaign.

He has three goals and five assists across all competitions this term.
