Chelsea are eyeing experienced Lazio defender Francesco Acerbi.

The 32 year-old has played a big role in Lazio's title challenge this season.

And his form has caught the eye of Chelsea and Antonio Conte's Inter Milan, reports FCInterNews.it.

The 32-year-old still has some years left on his current deal, which is set to expire in June 2023.

A move could also be on the horizon, however, after Acerbi recently changed agents, enlisting the help of Federico Pastorello, who also represents Inter star Romelu Lukaku.

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has received glowing reports on Acerbi from his scouts this season.
