Juventus eager to sign Chelsea target

Italian giants Juventus are looking to beat Chelsea to the signing of Inter Milan forward Mauro Icardi, according to The Express.

The Blues Jose Mourinho is understood to be keen on signing the Argentine striker as a long-term replacement for veteran star Didier Drogba.

Icardi has been in good form for Inter despite their league struggles this season.

The Express reports that Icardi, who is reportedly valued at 30m by the Nerazzurri, is also on the radar of the Turin outfit.

The 21-year-old has scored 15 goals for his club this season.
