Blues to keep Ballack, ShevchenkoChelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon has moved to end any transfer speculation involving Michael Ballack and Andrei Shevchenko.
He told BBC Five Live: "It's not going to happen. We brought both these players in for three and four years, we didn't bring them in for a season and we knew full well what their capabilities are and their prospects,"
"I'm confident they're going to be here as big players with Chelsea next season.
"They feel they have a lot more to give. It takes time to settle in. They're two fantastic professionals and I think it's an exciting prospect to see those two guys on top of their game for us next season."
He added: "I think we're in the region of moving three out and bringing three or four in.
"I don't think we'll have big-name signings because I don't think we need it. We're looking for some cover for central defence, midfield and a striker."
