The Transfer Tavern has been rife with Italian flavoured rumours and reports for the Chelsea supporting punters to tuck into ever since it was announced Antonio Conte would take control of the Blues. 

Such is his vast knowledge of Italian football, the West London giants have been mooted as a potential landing spot for a number of Serie A stars, much to the delight of the drinkers.

Further good news has come from reports in Gazzetta World, claiming the Stamford Bridge club are leading the chase for Lazio playmaker Felipe Anderson.

The Brazilian was strongly linked with a move to Manchester United last term, revealing himself that the Red Devils had a substantial offer for his services snubbed by I Biancocelesti. 

However, having fallen out with top brass in the Italian capital over their refusal to release him to play in the Olympic Games, a move to England could once again be on the cards.

Is Anderson really worth big bucks?
