Chelsea are one of the clubs who are interested in securing the signature of Lazio winger Antonio Candreva, according to Italian daily Il Tempo.
With Antonio Conte becoming the Chelsea manager, the Blues have been linked with a number of players from Serie A and the Lazio winger is the latest to be rumoured on their shortlist of targets.
Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid are believed to be keen to snare the 29-year-old from the Biancocelesti this summer, but it has been claimed that Chelsea have also entered the chase.
Conte is believed to be looking for a winger for Chelsea, and it has been suggested that he has identified the Italian international as one of the targets for the Blues.
Candreva remains a key component of the Lazio team and the club are unwilling to lose the player, but it has been suggested that a fee of around €25m could unlock the negotiations for the winger.

The winger has also been included in the Italy squad for the European Championship and Conte could look to tap him up for Chelsea if he wants to in France this summer.
