Chelsea are on the trail of Inter Milan striker Mauro Icardi according to reports.

ESPN FC have revealed that the 22-year old Argentine has emerged on Jose Mourinho's summer hit-list as he looks to strengthen his attacking force.

Icardi has scored 16 Serie A goals for the Nerazzurri this season which has already attracted the attention of such clubs as Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool.

Chelsea boss Mourinho has the injury-prone Diego Costa, the ageing Didier Drogba and Loic Remy as his current strikers and is looking to freshen that experienced trio by bringing in a budding bright star such as Icardi who is being linked with a possible San Siro departure this summer.
