Serie A new-boys Salernitana are chasing a deal for Chelsea striker Ike Ugbo.

Sportitalia's Alfredo Pedullà reports the negotiations are progressing well for the forward who turns 23 next month.

Ugbo impressed in Bruges, scoring 16 goals in 32 Jupiler Pro League appearances.

He would need to extend his current contract with Chelsea before making the loan move to Salernitana, but all parties seem eager to make the deal work.

The Stadio Arechi side was promoted to Serie A by finishing runners-up to Empoli in Serie B last season.
