Having missed out on Jeremy Jacquet it will be interesting to see who Chelsea target at centre back, with Como’s Jacobo Ramon and Bournemouth’s Marcos Senesi said to be on their shortlist.

However, it appears Chelsea have another name on their radar and HLN have reported that Chelsea are interested in Stankovic.

The report adds Arsenal are also interested in the 20-year-old, who left Inter Milan last summer, but the Italian giants do have a £20m buyback clause.

Stankovic can play both as a centre back and defensive midfielder, and has scored seven goals and registered four assists in 36 appearances this season.
