According to The Times, Juventus striker Vincenzo Iaquinta has found his way onto the transfer radar of Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti.
The former Udinese star - who boasts an impressive record of 28 goals in 57 Serie A appearances - is currently on the comeback trail after sustaining a knee problem in October.
The 30-year-old had leapfrogged both David Trezeguet and Amauri in Ciro Ferrara's pecking order prior to his injury, and many feel that his absence has played a significant role in Juve's inconsistent form since.
Ancelotti is said to be keeping a close eye on Iaquinta's fitness, so as to decide whether it would be worth making a move for the Italy regular before the end of the month.
The Blues are reportedly planning to open the bidding with an £8 million offer, should they proceed.

Robert Zeliang has this to say of Arsene Wenger: "Wrong tactics, fool. Arsenal have dug their own graves.”
Meanwhile, Tonde Chitonho has asked Thierry Henry to take Arsene Wenger back to the US with him!
And on the subject of Henry, Rizky Ferdiansyah humorously added: “King Henry couldn't beat the Prince Boateng!”

After the match, I took to Facebook and Twitter again to get some fan reaction. Lets take a look at what our readers have to say:
Joel Peeperkoorn feels that Arsenal should rest their big guns in the second leg, saying: “There's no way we can beat Milan by five goals."
Jez Cook, however, takes a different perspective, singing himself back to positivity: “FIVE FOUR we're gunna win five four we're gunna win five four we're gunna win five four ....FIVE FOUR we're gunna win five four we're gunna win five four we're gunna win five four ...FIVE FOUR - just keep repeating it.”
Well, you have to admire his fighting spirit...

Stat time again, folks, as we can reveal that tonight is Milan's biggest ever win the Champions League, while it is Arsenal's biggest ever loss in the competition!
Incidentally, no team has ever progressed in Europe after losing the first leg by such a heavy deficit.
