Chelsea manager Antonio Conte is a fan of Crystal Palace striker Christian Benteke, according to the Telegraph.
The report claims that Conte is an admirer of the Palace forward but is unlikely to make a move for him this summer.
Chelsea are looking for a new striker with Diego Costa set for a summer exit but Crystal Palace fans should not worry about an approach for their top goalscorer.
Manchester United have pipped Chelsea to the signing of Romelu Lukaku from Everton but the Blues have a number of other options to consider.
Juventus’ Alvaro Morata and Torino’s Andrea Belotti are said to be their next targets, with Benteke not thought to be of a high enough calibre for the Premier League champions.
Benteke scored an impressive 15 Premier League goals as he helped Palace survive in his first season at the club.
The forward signed for £27m from Liverpool last summer. - Read Sport
