Abramovich posts Chelsea scouts to make check on Fiorentina striker Jovetic

Chelsea are watching Fiorentina striker Stevan Jovetic.

Florence sources say Chelsea scouts have been spotted at Fiorentina's preseason camp to run a check on Jovetic.

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich failed with a bid for Jovetic almost two years ago after he starred against Liverpool in the Champions League.

Having fully recovered from a serious knee injury suffered last season, the Montenegro international is back on Abramovich's radar.

Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas is also a big fan and has been alerted to news Jovetic's new contract talks with Fiorentina has stalled. The striker is now inside the final two years of his existing deal.
