Chelsea set their sights on Napoli’s Stanislav Lobotka?

Chelsea have reportedly outlined their intentions to move for Napoli midfielder Stanislav Lobotka.

The Slovakia international has scored two goals and provided one assist in 78 appearances for the club since his move from Celta Vigo in 2020.

He has established himself as an integral player of Luciano Spalleti’s side, having started 12 of their 14 competitive games this term.

According to Calcio Mercato, Lobotka’s performances have understandably attracted interest from other top European clubs including Graham Potter’s side who are believed to be interested in signing the 27-year-old playmaker.

While the Blues are linked with a move, the Slovakian is believed to be close to putting a pen to a new deal with the Serie A leaders.

Lobotka is currently under contract at Napoli until June 2025.
