Report: Chelsea plotting £46m summer raid for next ‘Pirlo’

According to reports in Italy, Chelsea are plotting summer move for Brescia midfielder Sandro Tonali.

However, Chelsea are not the only team interested in the 19-year-old with the likes of Manchester city, Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Barcelona also keen on the Italian international.
