Hamsik linked with Chelsea

Marek Hamsik could be set for a move to the Premiership with Chelsea after his agent admitted there was some interest in the player. The Slovak did only just join Napoli in the summer, however.

"I cannot confirm nor refute this information," his agent Jari Venglos told SITA. "It has been published by Italian media, nothing about it has been in the English media. I don't want to make any further comments on this matter.”

Hamsik joined Napoli from Brescia last summer, but Chelsea are now believed to be ready to make an enormous £15 million offer for the player.
