The agent of Marko Arnautovic has confirmed English interest in the striker, but revealed that talks with Inter are due to take place.
Twenty-year-old FC Twente striker Arnautovic has been one of the Dutch league’s revelations this term under English boss Steve McClaren.
The Blues are believed to be after the Austrian, and his agent Peter Baars has confirmed that Premier League clubs are following his client.
But Chelsea must be quick if they do not want to see Arnautovic join another club, as Inter have offered his representative the chance to hold talks about the player, who is currently injured.
The Nerazzurri have sent medics to assess the forward’s stress foot fracture.
“I think that I will make the trip to Italy on Monday or Tuesday [next week], it also depends on the medical staff’s assessment,” Baars told Calcio Mercato.
“Only after that we will evaluate the situation with Inter’s directors. Nevertheless, I am very confident. I understand that Inter want to sign Marko because they are aware of his talent.
“Chelsea? I do not know, English teams are following him. You must wait for seven days to know what his future is about.”
