Premier League champions Chelsea are reportedly readying a £17 million offer for Lazio winger Keita Balde.

La Repubblica report that the winger is ready to leave Lazio this summer, but the Blues will face competition from AC Milan and Juventus.
The 22-year-old is out of contract at the end of next season and Lazio risk losing him for nothing if they do not cash in this summer.

The Serie A side are thought to be holding out for somewhere in the region of £26.5 million for the player.
Keita was influential in Lazio’s side last season, netting 16 times and providing a further six assists throughout the campaign.

Chelsea may need to invest in wide areas following the injury to Eden Hazard that is likely to see him miss the start of the season, as well as the addition of Champions League football providing extra challenges to the current squad. - Read Sport
