Chelsea to sign Andre Pirlo?

Chelsea have been put on alert after Italian star Andre Pirlo revealed of his desire to test himself in a new league.

The Italian international has been an excellent servant of the game, and has played an influential role in Juve's excellent league progress this season.

According to Metro, Pirlo will look at a fresh challenge abroad this summer, having spent his entire career in Serie A.

It is added that the Blues could make a shock swoop for the former AC Milan star, given his exceptional ability with the ball at such a late stage in his career.

Pirlo joined the Turin outfit from the Rossoneri in 2011.
