CHELSEA are eyeing up Sevilles £18million-rated striker Luis Fabiano.

With Robinho due to undergo a medical today before completing his £28.4m move from Spanish giants Real Madrid, Blues manager Phil Scolari is now weighing up a bid for Fabiano.

Fabiano, 27, is a Brazil team-mate of Robinho and has earned himself a fearsome reputation as a goalscorer in La Liga averaging one in every two games with Seville.

Both Andriy Shevchenko and Claudio Pizarro have been sent out on loan to AC Milan and Werder Bremen respectively.

So now the Stamford Bridge side are down to just two recognised strikers in Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka.

Robinhos arrival on a five-year deal will boost the Blues strike-force but gaffer Big Phil does not want to risk a lack of firepower especially as his top Drog could be out injured for up to a month.

But Seville do not have to sell having banked £25m this summer from the sale of Daniel Alves to Barcelona.
