RUMOURS: Chelsea Ready Bid For Southampton's Pelle

Chelsea will make a formal bid for Southampton's Graziano Pelle by the end of the week, according to Sky Italia.

The Blues have just confirmed the capture of Belgium striker Michy Batshuayi, but new boss Antonio Conte has asked that the club also put in an offer for Pelle, who has been playing under the Italian trainer at Euro 2016.

Everton and AC Milan are amongst a handful of other clubs interested in the 30-year-old, who is said to have been offered a €15m-per-season deal from a Chinese Super League club.
