The Spaniard joined Chelsea in a £50 million deal in January 2011. 



Former Chelsea captain also claims that Abramovich was keeping tabs on Torres at Liverpool long before his switch to Stamford Bridge.

‘He wasn’t in great form before those two goals [against Chelsea in November 2010], then he goes and scores the two against us,’ Terry told Sky Sports.

‘From a Chelsea point of view obviously he was the one I hated played against.


‘He always seemed to score at Anfield or at the Bridge.


‘He was that kind of one player Roman always asked about, ‘is he tough to play against?’.


‘Yossi [Benayoun] was quite close to him and Yossi was at Chelsea and was like, ‘lads, Fernando is on his way’.


‘And we were like, ‘no way, we’re absolutely going to dominate the Premier League and Europe for the next five or six years’.


‘That was our thoughts from playing against him and seeing it.’


Torres scored just 45 goals in 172 appearances during his time at Chelsea but helped the club win the Champions League, the FA Cup and the Europa League.
