Chelsea are putting Shaun Wright-Phillips up for sale at £12 million.

The Mirror says the one-time England and Manchester City starlet can leave Stamford Bridge in the latest shock departure, but the Blues will not let him out on loan.
A handful - headed by Newcastle United - want Wright-Phillips on loan, but Roman Abramovich is looking to claw back some of his cash as soon as possible as he prunes his squad. The snag is that few clubs can afford even £12m.
Wright-Phillips has been offered to Spaniards Atletico Madrid for striker Fernando Torres and an exchange may be the best way of solving the problem.
