Chelsea will battle Arsenal for Genoa attacking midfielder Diego Laxalt, as the London giants attempt to plunder the Serie A side.
According to Tuttomercatoweb (h/t Mark Brus of Metro), the 23-year-old's glittering performance in Italy has alerted the Premier League clubs, and they will battle each other to capture the new Uruguay international.
The talent is defensively sound but has the potential to turn into a rounded midfielder, playing in the centre or on the left.
The Blues could view the player as a long-term replacement for Oscar, per Brus, and would also add youth to Antonio Conte's ranks as he tempts one of his country's burgeoning club talents.
