Watford star Roberto Pereyra is excited by talk of interest from Chelsea.

The former Juventus star's fine form has seen him linked with a host of clubs, including Maurizio Sarri's side.

And Pereyra is delighted to be linked with the Stamford Bridge giants, adding that he will continue to do his best for the Hornets in the meantime.

Pereyra said: “Return to Italy? We talked about it but in the end I decided to keep playing here.

“Now I hope to keep going like I am now, with a club like Chelsea mentioned. It's nice that you talk about a team that is so fond of me.

“Watford? We started well, I'm happy because I had a good run of preparation and that was what I was missing.

“Now we have to keep working like that. Yes, it was one of my first personal goals.

“Juventus? They are a great team, they have added quality with Cristiano Ronaldo and in the Champions League they will go far."
