A report claims that incoming Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is keen to sign his fellow Italian Graziano Pelle from Southampton in the summer.

Graziano Pelle could reportedly be reunited with Antonio Conte at Chelsea this summer.

The pair have worked together with the Italian national team, whom Conte will leave after Euro 2016 to take charge at Stamford Bridge.

According to The Sun, Conte is keen to take the Southampton centre-forward with him.

The report adds that the 30-year-old, who has 12 months left to run on his contract at the St Mary's Stadium, is valued at £8m.

Pelle is expected to leave Southampton at the end of the season, having fallen down the pecking order over recent weeks.
