Report: Chelsea monitoring Stefano Sensi

Chelsea are reportedly closely monitoring Cesena midfielder Stefano Sensi over a potential move for the Italian.

The 20-year-old, who came through the youth system at his current club, is believed to be attracting the interest of a number of European teams.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has had the Serie B midfielder watched this season and will continue to do so over the next couple of weeks ahead of a potential move in the January transfer window.

Sensi, who has been dubbed 'the new Marco Verratti' in some sections of the media, has scored twice in 12 Serie B matches for Cesena this season.
