Grant admits Gerrard fancy
Chelsea coach Avram Grant has admitted he has an admiration for Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard ahead of their crunch battle in the Champions League during midweek.
Grant said: "Gerrard is a great player and a great person.
"For me, he is the player of the year in England, and maybe in Europe, because of the influence he has on the team.
"I like him very much as a player and I know him.
"He is a nice guy and an example to others.
"He plays against me but he is still my favourite player.
"If you can bring him to me, I will be happy."
