Chelsea are watching Lazio defender Stefan De Vrij ahead of the summer market.

The Daily Star says reports from Italy claim the Dutch centre-back is ready to move, with the Blues set to pounce.

De Vrij has been at Lazio since a 2014 switch from Feyenoord.

But he looks to be on the move in the next few months.

The 25-year-old won't be signing an extension to his contract with the Rome club. He's not willing to put pen to paper and fancies a new challenge elsewhere.

And that could be with Chelsea, reports TMW.
