Chelsea will make a move for Lazio attacker Felipe Anderson if Maurizio Sarri is the man to replace Antonio Conte this summer.
Calcio Mercato report that Lazio are happy to sell the player should a £35 million bid be made.
Sarri is reportedly keen on bringing the Brazilian to Stamford Bridge with him this summer.
Anderson has been heavily linked with moves away from Lazio recently and he becomes the latest Serie A player to be discussed as a transfer target for the Blues.
The Brazilian, who can play out wide or behind the striker, scored eight times for Lazio this season, registering a further 10 assists for his teammates.
The Lazio star was not named in the Brazil squad for this summer’s World Cup, so the Blues will be hopeful of wrapping up the deal quickly.
Sarri is expected to be appointed as the new Chelsea boss with reports in Italy claiming a fee between the two clubs is all that is left to be agreed.
