Chelsea plot new approach for summer target image

Chelsea have made numerous adjustments to their attacking unit, with forwards Liam Delap and Joao Pedro coming into the side over the summer. 

Enzo Maresca has enjoyed success with his summer signings, most recently from teenage sensation Estevao, who scored the winner against Liverpool. 

Chelsea are looking to add another attacker to the mix, with a Juventus star on their radar. 

Which Juventus attacker is Chelsea looking to sign?

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Chelsea are preparing another bid for Juventus forward Kenan Yildiz. 

The London club was interested in Yildiz over the summer, but a move never worked out for the 20-year-old.

Maresca's side had a £59m, or €68m, bid rejected for Yildiz, but the club is preparing to send in an improved offer. 

Chelsea will be rivaled by Barcelona for his signature, while Juventus are also trying to tie down the youngster with a new contract. 

Yildiz's agent, who is his father, was not happy with Juventus' new extension offer, which could open the door for Chelsea to pursue their move. 

The Turkish international has scored one goal and assisted on three goals in Serie A already this season.
