Chelsea eyeing Inter Milan winger Ivan Perisic

Chelsea are eyeing Inter Milan winger Ivan Perisic.

The Sun says Inter will turn to Alexis Sanchez or Sergio Aguero as Chelsea's pursuit of Perisic could set the transfer merry-go-round in motion, according to reports in Italy.

The Nerazzurri are owned by wealthy Chinese retail giants, Suning Commerce group — and they have ambitious plans to return the club to its former glories.

The club's hierarchy has now set its eyes on two of the Premier League's deadliest strikers, as replacements for the potential departure of one of their key attackers.

Perisic, 27, has been in fine form this season, and his partnership with Mauro Icardi in attack is among the best in Serie A.

His form has not gone unnoticed by Antonio Conte, who is in the market for a new striker to ease the burden on Diego Costa, with Michy Batshuayi struggling to prove his worth.
