Bookmakers have backed Southampton striker Graziano Pelle to join Chelsea this summer, according to Betstars, as reported by the Daily Star.
After his goal for Italy in their opening game of Euro 2016, Chelsea have been made the front runners to sign the striker this summer.
Pelle, who has been linked with moves away from St Mary’s this summer, could be more inclined to leave the Saints after Ronald Koeman left the club to join Everton.
BetStars’ trading director Ian Marmion backed the striker to make the switch to Stamford Bridge.
Having sealed Italy’s first win of the Euros with a stunning volley, Southampton’s Graziano Pelle is being linked with a move to Chelsea. It seems the lure of working under Antonio Conte next season is proving hard to resist for a number of Italian players. We’re calling it – expect to see Pelle at the Bridge next season and our odds have been slashed to reflect this.
The Southampton man has been a key part of Antonio Conte’s Italian squad of late, out of choice rather than want, with the Azzurri not boasting its best generation of quality.
Pelle scored 13 goals in all competitions for the Saints last term, and following Koeman’s arrival at Goodison Park, has been linked with a move there, whilst Stoke are also thought to be interested in the player.
