In his first ever season in England, Italian manager Antonio Conte, is working wonders with his squad at the Stamford Bridge as his Chelsea side stay at the top of the Premier League table, 8 points off Arsenal in the 2nd place come the end of the January transfer window.
The window is almost coming to an end and Conte seems to be happy with the additions he has already made in the month. But he has been extensively looking at stars to improve the squad in the future.
This has seen him linked with a number of stars in the last couple of days and one player who is now doing the rounds is Domenico Berardi.
Considered as one of the most exciting attackers in Italy, the 22-year old has been a main stay for Sassuolo since his teenage days and is one of the most prolific goal scorers in Italy at the moment.
He has 40 goals in 96 league games in Italy and is one of the hottest prospects in Europe and Antonio Conte has now asked the Chelsea hierarchy to get him to the Bridge at the end of the season.
Belgian Diego Costa has been superb this season there have been rumors linking him with an exit and with Michy Batshuayi the only other player in this position in the league, Conte is looking to add some mettle to his attack in the summer and wants Berardi in his squad.
It is understood that the attacker turned down a chance to join Italian giants Juventus a couple of years ago in search of regular football but he is yet again linked with a move to some of the best clubs in the country.
AC Milan, Inter Milan and AS Roma are all scouting for him and Conte wants his club to snap him up as soon as the season comes to an end.
It is also reported that the Turin outfit already have an option to buy the player for £21m this summer but it is to be seen whether they move for him at the end of the season but Conte is ready to buy him out and meet his asking value.
Berardi is a decent option for Chelsea but he cannot be the replacement for Diego Costa at the club if the Spaniard decides to make a move in the summer.
Do you think Domenico Berardi is a bright option for Chelsea?
