Chelsea are believed to be keen on making a move for Inter Milan star striker Lautaro Martinez with the Argentine on Thomas Tuchel’s wishlist.
Romelu Lukaku’s former strike partner Martinez is one of the names on the radar at Stamford Bridge with Tuchel backed to bolster his attacking ranks sooner rather than later heading into the January window.
The Chelsea boss has been on the hunt for reinforcements in the final third to add some much-needed firepower up top which has gone missing in recent weeks despite signing Lukaku in the summer.
Lukaku’s stellar run of form early on in his return to England’s top flight has been subdued of late which has made the Chelsea camp keep tabs on the Belgian’s former Inter Milan teammate Lautaro Martinez, claim reports from Fichajes.
Prizing away the highly-rated forward from the San Siro ranks is understood to be a difficult challenge for the Blues with Martinez having put pen to paper on extended terms earlier this campaign to commit his long-term future with the Italians.
