Free agent in-demand

Chelsea are keeping tabs on Stephen Appiah's situation as they consider bringing in a new midfielder. Appiah's future has been the subject of intense speculation, with the Ghana international available on a free transfer after leaving Fenerbahce. The 27-year-old is able to join any club outside the transfer window due to his free agent status and that makes him an attractive proposition for a host of clubs. Arsenal, West Ham, Portsmouth, Juventus, Bayern Munich and Schalke are all thought to be weighing up moves for the midfield dynamo. Chelsea chief Luiz Felipe Scolari has admitted he is in the market for a new midfielder following the serious injury sustained to Michael Essien. Essien's international team-mate Appiah could be an option for Scolari as he looks to bring in a ready-made replacement for the Ghanaian before the transfer window reopens in January.
