Chelsea are reportedly trying to take advantage of the stalled contract talks between Dries Mertens and Napoli.
As relayed by Kristoff Terreur of Het Laatste Nieuws, the Belgian newspaper has suggested that Antonio Conte is a big fan of the forward, whose contract is set to expire at the end of next season:
