Transfer gossip: Agent claims Chelsea want Bologna star

Amadou Diawara’s agent has told Italian media that Chelsea are interested in signing the Bologna midfielder next summer.

Robert Visan, who reportedly represents the player, says Tottenham and Manchester City are also keen. All three clubs have been linked with Diawara, as have Juventus.

“There is a strong interest of Chelsea,” Visanis quoted as saying. “Also Manchester City and Tottenham, and Juventus, have been following him.”

Forward Jonathan Calleri of Argentine club Boca Juniors is also among a host of players to have recently been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge.

And French publication L’Equipe claim a deal has been agreed for Calleri, 22, to join the Blues for around £6m.
