Dynamo Kiev are hoping to bring Andriy Shevchenko back to the club from Chelsea.

The Ukrainian has returned to the Blues for pre-season after a disappointing loan spell at AC Milan last term.

Shevchenko's long-term future at the club looks in doubt with Shevchenko well down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge.

The 32-year-old has struggled to make an impact at Chelsea since his big-money arrival from Milan in 2006 and he could be allowed to leave.

Kiev club president Igor Surkis claims the club have made an offer to bring Shevchenko back to his first club and are waiting on the Premier League outfit's response.

"We are interested in Shevchenko. An offer has been made. We are waiting for a response," said Surkis.

"My heart and soul is open to him. Gazzaev has no objection to him joining the team. Andriy has to decide where he and his family would be comfortable."
