Chelsea are poised to step up their pursuit of Inter Milan forward Antonio Candreva.
Gazzetta dello Sport says Antonio Conte’s side are keen to add the Italian international to their squad before the transfer window closes.
The 30-year-old joined Inter last August on a four-year deal from Lazio, and has scored eight goals in all competitions for the club.
Candreva has scored 54 goals in Serie A overall, having previously played for Cesena, Parma, Udinese, Juventus and Livorno.
Chelsea are also closing in on a £30 million deal for Leicester City’s Danny Drinkwater.
