Hercules are interested in signing Chelsea winger Florent Malouda for £7 million bid in the summer, according to reports

With Chelsea thought to be planning a shake-up of their ageing squad, the Frenchman could be one who is on his way out of Stamford Bridge, despite being a key figure for the Blues over the last few seasons.

Many have blamed the age of Carlo Ancelotti's squad as a key reason behind their slump in form in recent months, and Malouda, 30, could now be the first of a number of the club's players to face the exit door.

Florent Malouda has previously said that he would like to finish his career in Brazil.
