The blues are increasing their interest in Red Star Belgrade forward Richmond Boakye report the Evening Standard
The Ghanaian international knows Antonio Conte from their time at Juventus together. Although Boakye was loaned out during his two-year spell in Turin before securing a move to Atalanta.
It does, however, appear the blues boss is on the lookout for more striking options with Alvaro Morata and Michy Batshuayi the only target men at his disposal. Also, it has also become clear the Belgian is not fully trusted by the Italian.
24-year-old Boakye has netted an impressive 39 goals in 48 appearances during his 18 months at Red Star.
