Chelsea are following Sampdoria striker Luis Muriel.

Don Balon says Antonio Conte was looking at the striker to provide support for Diego Costa up front.

The Colombian striker would cost around £13.5m but would not arrive until next summer.

Conte has reportedly been a fan of Muriel from his days managing in Serie A and sees him as the next step towards helping his Chelsea side have the domestic dominance his Juventus team had.

The 25-year-old joined Sampdoria in January last year and has scored 14 goals for them, including four this season.
