Chelsea have been fancied to land the signature of Dries Mertens on a free transfer with manager Frank Lampard said to be calling him almost everyday.
The west London side had attempted to sign the Belgium international in January but a deal did not materialise before the transfer deadline.
This coincided with their decision to keep hold of Olivier Giroud and it has recently been reported that they have extended the Frenchman’s contract until June 2021.
Still, Mertens has been regularly linked with a move to Stamford Bridge and Vincenzo Morabito, who acts as a transfer intermediary for several Italian clubs, has revealed that the Blues are ‘very interested’ in the Belgian.
