Chelsea have received a boost in signing Dries Mertens with the Napoli forward said to favour a move to the English capital next season, a report from The Mail claims.
The Belgian’s contract with Napoli expires at the end of the season and he has reportedly stalled on putting pen-to-paper on a fresh two-year deal with the club.
Both the Blues and Liverpool are looking to lure Mertens to the Premier League this summer but the former could have the edge with the forward said to be interested in a move to London.
