Chelseaare chasing top Argentine striker Ezequiel Lavezzi as Luiz FelipScolari looks for more firepower in his push for prizes.
Talent-spotterFrank Arnesen watched the exciting 23-year-old in action for Napolilast week and the Stamford Bridge club are weighing up a £10millionmove.
Lavezzi is the rising striking star of the Argentina side,winning a gold medal at the Olympics and now part of the full nationalsquad on a regualr basis.
His displays have sparked comparisonswith Carlos Tevez and he notched eight goals in his first season inSerie A as Napoli had their best campaign for years.
Chelsea arelooking for at least one new forward in the next window, with Scolarirealising that his squad may be short in that department as they chaseChampions League and domestic glory.
While he's mostly untested, I like his style of play. He's quick, and he really can finish. I would really like this signing.
However,isn't the "talent-spotter" supposed to "spot" unknown players? Lavezziisn't exactly a player people don't know about. Almost everyone knowshe's good. We just need to evaluat how good.
I really do hopeIvanovic and Di Santo turn out to be brilliant (which they really mightto be fair) because Arnesen hasn't done anything exceptional yet.
