Chelsea striker Fernando Torres has expressed his admiration of Wayne Rooney, admitting that he would love to play alongside the Manchester United ace.
Blues boss Jose Mourinho had made the England international his primary transfer target but the proposed deal appears to have collapsed, with the Manchester United man having declined the Portuguese's public invite to issue a transfer request and the West Londoners now having snapped up Samuel Eto'o.
However, Torres is still hoping that Rooney ends up at Stamford Bridge as he feels that the pair could form a prolific partnership.
"Chelsea always want the best players and Rooney is one of them. I admire him and it would be great to play alongside him."
Meanwhile Chelsea will play vs Bayern tonight for the UEFA SUPER CUP.
