Chelsea are looking to beat Inter Milan to the signing of Lazio and Italy winger Antonio Candreva, according to reports.

Chelsea have expressed an interest in hijacking Inter Milan's seemingly imminent signing of Antonio Candreva, according to reports.

The Nerazzurri are said to have agreed personal terms with the Lazio winger, who is currently at Euro 2016 in France with the Italy national team.

However, incoming Blues manager Antonio Conte - currently managing Candreva at international level - is said to be keen on bringing the 29-year-old with him to Stamford Bridge after the tournament.

According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, Napoli and Atletico Madrid are also said to be waiting in the wings alongside the Blues should the deal collapse.
