Premiership target Markovic sets his sights on Chelsea

Partizan Belgrade striker Lazar Markovic would chose his boyhood club Chelsea if the opportunity to play in the Premier League arrives. A number of clubs from across the continent are reportedly monitoring the progress of the 17 year old who is valued at around £10million by his current employers.

"I really hope I can go to Chelsea, it's my dream," Markovic told The Sun.

"I'm told there were 20 scouts from all over Europe in the VIP box when we beat Red Star.

"But Chelsea is the place I want to play. I had all the pictures of the team on my wall at home back to when they had Gianfranco Zola.

"And any time they are on TV I try to watch them. For me Chelsea are the best.

"I want to go to the Premier League. It is the best league in the world."
