Chelsea target Torino defender Matteo Darmian

Chelsea are leading the chase for Torino full-back Matteo Darmian.

Italian Darmian is also being targeted by Spanish giants Real Madrid, French side Paris St-Germain, and the Italian duo of Roma and Napoli.

It is thought a bid of ÂŁ10m would be enough to acquire the services of Darmian, according to Tuttomercato.

The Blues are thought to be looking to provide cover to Branislav Ivanovic as they hunt a Premier League and Champions League double, to go with their Capital One Cup success.

They face a battle with some of Europe’s elite clubs for his signature, however.

Highly-rated Darmian has progressed through the Italian national set-up, before featuring in Cesare Prandelli’s World Cup squad last year.

He has drawn comparisons with legendary Italian full-back Antonio Cabrini, due to his tactical awareness, pace and stamina.
