Chelsea to launch bid for Miralem Pjanic?

Chelsea are ready to launch a bid for Roma midfielder Miralem Pjanic, according to reports.

The Blues manager Rafa Benitez is keen on the playmaker and could bid around £14 million for the Bosnian international, according to The Mirror.

Benitez is keen to build on an already-impressive array of attacking midfielders at the club and sees the 22-year-old as ideally priced.

Pjanic previously played for Olympique Lyonnais before moving to Roma in 2011.
