Inter Milan have rejected an enquiry from Chelsea for Antonio Candreva.
The Blues are in the market for a winger this transfer deadline day and they have already been linked with Middlesbrough's Adama Traore.
Inter's Jonathan Biabiany is another of Antonio Conte’s reported targets, but there is also reported interest in his team-mate Candreva.
However, according to reports in Italy, Chelsea's approach for Candreva has been rejected instantly.
Inter have absolutely no desire to sell the Italian, especially with only a matter of hours left in the current transfer window.
Candreva, 29, can operate as a wing-back or behind a central striker and Chelsea may now return for him in the summer instead.
