Chelsea too slow to keep hold of Borini - agent

The agent of Fabio Borini says Chelsea were too slow to secure the striker to a new contract.

The Italian has hit a rich vein of scoring form at AS Roma.

Marco de Marchi told TMW: "There was no time to respond after Chelsea made their offer as the boy had been put out of the squad. When he returned, in eight reserves appearances he scored 14 goals."
