Napoli attacker Lorenzo Insigne has reportedly emerged as a potential transfer target for Chelsea.
The Blues are expected to be active in the summer window, but their main piece of business could come in trying to keep Eden Hazard at Stamford Bridge.
Real Madrid remain intent on trying to tempt the Belgian attacker to the Bernabeu, and it appears that boss Antonio Conte is already lining up possible replacements should they sell their star man.
According to The Sun, he has started to take a look at Insigne, with whom he has previously worked during his time as coach of Italy.
The 26-year-old has been superb for the Serie A side for a number of seasons, but he is continually linked with the big European clubs and the time may have come for the playmaker to make his long-awaited exit from his boyhood team.
It has been claimed that Chelsea would be prepared to pay £45m in order to sign a player who has netted 48 goals in 207 appearances for Napoli in all competitions.
