Chelsea have reportedly identified Brescia youngster Sandro Tonali as a potential transfer target.
The Blues have made an impressive start to the campaign, having gone 10 games without suffering defeat in all competitions, and the club currently sit in third place in the Premier League standings.
Maurizio Sarri also possesses a stacked squad at Stamford Bridge, but according to reports in Italy, the new head coach is taking an interest in one of the top prospects in his homeland.
The 18-year-old - who is contracted to Brescia to 2021 - has already made an impression in the first team with six appearances being made in Serie B this season.
Juventus, Roma, Inter Milan and AC Milan are also said to be admirers of a player who has been dubbed the 'next Andrea Pirlo'.
