Chelsea are looking to add some fresh faces to their attack in the January transfer window and Antonio Conte has decided to pursue one of the hottest young talents in Italy.
Calciomercato report that the Blues are one of two Premier League clubs that are pushing for the January signature of Fiorentina starlet Federico Chiesa.
The 20-year-old winger came through the Fiorentina academy and burst onto the scene last season, making 34 appearances across all competitions, scoring four goals and providing three assists.
Chiesa has stepped up his production this term, however, netting four times and laying on four more assists in 18 Serie A appearances.
Having signed a new contract with Fiorentina in November running until 2022, it’ll take a large offer to convince the Italian side to part ways with the right-winger.
Valued at €40m, Chelsea will face competition from Tottenham for the Italy U21 international, but both Napoli and Juventus remain interested in signing the young attacker also.
