Chelsea face battle convincing Brescia midfielder Sandro Tonali

Brescia midfielder Sandro Tonali admits he sees his future beyond his Serie B club.

With Chelsea keen, however, Tonali has hinted he'd prefer his next move to be within Italy.

Unfortunately for Maurizio Sarri, Tonali admits he supports Serie A giants AC Milan.

And his idol is none other than the San Siro side's current boss Gennaro Gattuso.

Tonali said: “I was inspired by Pirlo, but we never saw each other.

“My idol is Gattuso. I can play in front of the defence.

“I want to win, in Italy or abroad. Who was I a fan of as a child? Milan."
