Chelsea target Mauro Icardi pens Inter Milan extension

Mauro Icardi has drawn a line under the speculation surrounding his Inter Milan future by signing a new contract at San Siro.

The Argentine striker, 22, had reportedly courted interest from Chelsea and Liverpool after a goal-laden breakthrough season with Inter, netting 23 times in all competitions.

However, Icardi, whose 22 league goals saw him scoop the Golden Boot in Serie A last season, has pledged his future to the Nerazzurri with a new deal that runs until 2019.

Icardi joined Inter from Sampdoria in 2013.
