# Chelsea contemplating swoop for Alessandro Florenzi

Chelsea are understood to be contemplating a summer swoop for Roma wing-back Alessandro Florenzi.

According to claims from Italy, the versatile Roma star is yet to come to a resolution over his future with Eusebio Di Francesco’s side, prompting talk of a summer exit.

Chelsea are well-stocked with wide defensive options but according to Gazzetta dello Sport, as cited by [Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/app/transfer-centre), Florenzi has emerged as a potential target.

Although the Blues are stated to have only expressed an interest in the player, with no formal offer made just yet, their interest has previously been [reported](https://readchelsea.com/2018/02/21/chelsea-juve-interested-roma-star-florenzi/), with Florenzi evidently a long-term target for the club.

Florenzi is capable of playing in a number of different positions. Along with being adept as a right-back or right wing-back, he is also deployable in central midfield.

Chelsea have been linked with right-sided defenders in recent times, indicating that the club could be on the lookout for a new first-choice in this position.
