Elseid Hysaj 'to turn down Chelsea move'

Elseid Hysaj will reportedly turn down a move to Chelsea in order to sign a new long-term deal with Napoli.

Hysaj, who has made 29 appearances for Napoli during the 2018-19 campaign, will see his current deal with the Italian giants expire in the summer of 2021.

Chelsea have long been credited with an interest in the 25-year-old, but according to Corriere dello Sport, the defender's agent will meet with Napoli next week to finalise a new contract.

The 42-time Albania international has made 164 appearances in all competitions for his current club since a 2015 move from Empoli.

Chelsea will attempt to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they travel to Cardiff City on Sunday afternoon.
