Chelsea football star Andriy Shevchenko is selling Mount House, his five-bedroom Wentworth Estate home, for £10 million through Knight Frank...

The Regency-style property, set in three-and-a-half acres, has a swimming pool, tennis court, gym, wine cellar, sauna and staff flat.

"Andriy recently won planning permission to extend the 10,000sq ft property by a further 5,000sq ft," explains an insider.

The charismatic Ukranian striker and former AC Milan player is married to international model Kristen Pazik by whom he has two sons. Jordan, the eldest, is named after Shevchenko's idol, US basketball champ Michael Jordan, and his godfather is Italian premier Silvio Berlusconi.

The 1,750-acre Wentworth Estate near Windsor has become something of a closely guarded ghetto for celebs such as Bruce Forsyth, Eddie Jordan, Cliff Richard and "Prince" Naseem Hamed.
