The Italian hit man blossomed at the San Siro last season and notched 14 goals in Serie A. Despite missing the cut for Marcello Lippi's World Cup 2010 squad, he remains a highly-rated player.

His emergence has alerted the Blues boss to his talent after he failed to make the mark when they were together at the San Siro. A big money bid from the west London outfit would be hard to turn down by the cash-strapped club, especially as they look to fund a move for Brazil hot-shot Luis Fabiano.
