Chelsea linked with shock swoop for Napoli winger

Chelsea have been linked with a surprise move for Napoli winger Hirving Lozano during this summer's transfer window.

The Mexican has made eight goal contributions in 30 games for Napoli this term and he is regarded as a key player for them.

Talks are underway over a new contract, but Lozano could decide to move on from the club if they end up winning the Serie A.

According to Radio Crc, Chelsea could make an approach to sign the 27-year-old under the recommendation of Graham Potter.

It is added that the versatile forward could be prised away for around €50 million if he does not renew with the Italian club.

Lozano has been long linked with a move to the Premier League. Apart from the Blues, Arsenal and Manchester United are also admirers.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have also been credited with an interest, but they are no longer a lucrative destination amid their league struggles.

Aside from Lozano, Napoli striker Victor Osimhen has also been tipped to move to the Premier League at the end of the campaign.
