Portuguese ace England bound?

Chelsea target Miguel's agent has revealed that the Portuguese defender has been offered moves to the Premiership.

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho and London rivals Arsenal have both been frequently linked with moves to sign the Valencia full back over the last six months.

Miguel is one of the highest rated defenders in Europe after a string of impressive performances for both club and country last season but he is under contract at Valencia until June 2010 and the Spanish side would demand a big transfer fee if they were to sell one of their prize assets.

Paulo Barbosa, Miguel's agent, told the Daily Telegraph: "Miguel has some big offers, including some from England, to leave Valencia this summer but it depends on the club.

"The offers are from great clubs, but there is a big problem that makes any deal difficult and that is the high price that Valencia have demanded."
