Chelsea are making a shock move for AC Milan signing Pepe Reina.

Chelsea are hunting for a new keeper signing as they prepare to lose Thibaut Courtois to Real Madrid in the coming days.

And their search has led to Reina, says Premium Sport, who worked with new manager Maurizio Sarri for three years at Napoli.

Reina has signed a three-year contract with Milan, having joined them on a Bosman deal this month.

However, the Rossonero could be offered a chance at an instant profit should Chelsea firm up their interest.

For his part, Sarri has made a personal request to Chelsea chiefs to explore the prospect of bringing the former Liverpool keeper back to England.
