Tour of duty leaves Wright-Phillips in limbo

Shaun Wright-Phillips may have to wait until the end of Chelsea's pre-season tour before being able to resolve his future.

As revealed by Standard Sport in May, Wright-Phillips wants to leave Stamford Bridge in order to get regular first-team football and Portsmouth are poised to make a bid.

The England winger has already set his sights on moving to Fratton Park and Portsmouth now have the money to meet Chelsea's £10million valuation now that Sulley Muntari is set to join Inter Milan for £12.7m.

But it is understood Chelsea don't expect any progress on the deal until after the club's final game of the tour in Moscow on 3 August.

Wright-Phillips, who joined from Manchester City for £21m in 2005, has just two years left on his deal and has only been used as a squad player in his time at Stamford Bridge. While Wright-Phillips waits for his future to be resolved, Salomon Kalou today revealed his frustrations with Avram Grant, blaming him for the club's failure to win a trophy last season.

Grant took over from Jose Mourinho in September and Chelsea went on to finish runners-up to Manchester United in the Premier and Champions League, were beaten by Tottenham in the Carling Cup final and knocked out of the FA Cup by Barnsley.
