AVB posts Chelsea scouts to track Fiorentina attacker Jovetic

Chelsea are intensifying their interest in Fiorentina striker Stevan Jovetic.

Sport Mediaset says Andre Villas-Boas sent staff to watch the player on Friday night, when the 21-year-old played in Montenegro's 2-1 defeat against Wales.

It's the second time Chelsea have been to watch the versatile forward, who can also play in the wing position.

This scouting trip has sparked the Viola into action, with the Serie 'A' side looking to hold fresh contract talks with the player in an effort to keep Jovetic out of the clutches of Chelsea, who spent big this summer bringing young players of a similar ilk to Stamford Bridge.
