Florent Malouda heading for Brazil?

Chelsea winger Florent Malouda has emerged as a target for Brazilian club Vasco da Gama.

The Frenchman had expressed his desire to stay in West London, but now looks destined for the Stamford Bridge exit door following the captures of Marko Marin and Eden Hazard.

Malouda, who has one year left to run on his contract, is now mulling over a move to Vasco, according to France Football.

The 32-year-old found himself struggling for starts last season, with Daniel Sturridge being preferred in the wide role.
