Of all the big Premier League clubs linked with Argentine winger Ezequiel Lavezzi, Chelsea reportedly showed a keen interest in signing him.
During the January transfer window, Sky Sports Italy claimed that Lavezzi’s agent Alejandro Mazzoni had travelled to London to hold talks with Chelsea over a possible transfer. The 30-year-old was also linked with a move to Serie A club Napoli, but the deal didn’t materialise in the end.
Towards the end of the transfer window, Lavezzi’s agent reportedly held another round of talks with Chelsea, and it became clear that he was pushing for a move.
