Chelsea target Argentine striker Ezequiel Lavezzi
Published 00:00 06/10/08 By
Chelsea are chasing top Argentine striker Ezequiel Lavezzi as Luiz Felip Scolari looks for more firepower in his push for prizes.
Talent-spotter Frank Arnesen watched the exciting 23-year-old in action for Napoli last week and the Stamford Bridge club are weighing up a £10million move.
Lavezzi is the rising striking star of the Argentina side, winning a gold medal at the Olympics and now part of the full national squad on a regualr basis.
His displays have sparked comparisons with Carlos Tevez and he notched eight goals in his first season in Serie A as Napoli had their best campaign for years.
Chelsea are looking for at least one new forward in the next window, with Scolari realising that his squad may be short in that department as they chase Champions League and domestic glory.
