Chelsea interested in Roma fullback Leandro Spinazzola

Chelsea are interested in Roma fullback Leandro Spinazzola.

The 28-year-old has been one of the standout players for the Azzurri as Italy reached the knockout stages and his performances have put several top European clubs on alert, with Real Madrid also monitoring the situation.

Il Messaggero report the Blues are keen to add the former Juventus star to their ranks after missing out on Achraf Hakimi. But new Giallorossi boss Jose Mourinho could demand the Premier League side to pay a large fee to secure his services.

With Emerson Palmieri and Marcos Alonso looking likely to seal moves away from the club this summer, manager Thomas Tuchel is looking to bring in a player to compete with Ben Chilwell for the spot in his 3-4-3 formation.
