Chievo youngster Emanuel Vignato has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for the Premier League giants Chelsea.

The 19-year-old attacker, who came through the youth ranks at Chievo and has made 21 first-team appearances for the Serie A outfit – including seven in Serie B at the start of the current campaign.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Chelsea have scouted the Italian midfielder this season with the Blues preparing a swoop for the teenager once their transfer ban has come to an end.

The report claims that AC Milan, Inter Milan and Bayern Munich are also said to be interested in the attacker, who operates as a right-winger for Michele Marcolini’s side this term.

Chelsea are currently banned from signing in new players after breaching FIFA rules, but the London club are reportedly hopeful that the suspension will be reduced on appeal.
