Chelsea have opened talks with Napoli over a prospective move for attacker Jose Callejon.

According to reports in Italy, Chelsea will beat off the likes of Liverpool, who have also been following the 28-year-old.

Blues boss Jose Mourinho has been keen for attacking reinforcements and having previously worked with Callejon at Real Madrid, the Portuguese is ready to move for the Napoli forward.

Football Italia are reporting the deal is close to being completed and could well cost Chelsea in the region of £11million.
