Chelsea are eyeing Lazio midfielder Felipe Anderson.

Il Messaggero says Chelsea are said to be ahead of Inter Milan and Napoli in the chase for the Lazio midfielder, who has previously been linked with Manchester United.

Talks have been instigated by Anderson's agent with a host of potential summer suitors.

Anderson is thought to be valued at around €40million if he is to move.

Chelsea would see Anderson as competition for Tiemoue Bakayoko in the centre of midfield.
