RUMOURS: Chelsea to battle Juventus for N'Zonzi

Chelsea will face competition from Juventus if they are serious about signing Sevilla's Steven N'Zonzi, according to Tuttosport.

The 27-year-old defensive midfielder swapped Stoke City for the south of Spain during the 2015 summer transfer window and his impressive displays have caught the eye of Europe's elite.

Antonio Conte's Blues have reportedly tabled an offer already, while Leicester City and Barcelona are also credited with an interest.

Juventus, however, appear to be out in front in the chase for the Frenchman, with the Italian champions seemingly ready to pay the player's £26.5 million release clause, as well as offer him the assurance of first-team football.
