Chelsea have been mentioned as a potential suitor for Napoli forward Lorenzo Insigne in a report by The Sun.
The article in question from The Sun is citing comments from Insigne in which he insinuates that he could leave Napoli at some point in the near future.
Maurizio Sarri, who worked alongside Insigne at the Stadio San Paolo, would likely be keen on a reunion with him at Chelsea. The Sun believe that to be the case.
Chelsea, along with Liverpool, are thought to be interested in signing Insigne, with the league leaders being linked with a £65M bid in The Sun’s report.

Whether Chelsea do see Insigne as a viable option to bolster Sarri’s options in attack could come down to whether Gonzalo Higuain is able to find his form between now and the end of the season.
The Argentine hasn’t had his shooting boots laced in recent weeks. Don’t be surprised if we continue to be linked with new strikers in the coming weeks and months.
Insigne would certainly be a viable option, with his quality undoubtable. Whether Aurelio De Laurentiis would be prepared to do business with us remains to be seen.
