Chelsea reportedly sent scouts to watch Juventus star Paul Pogba this week amid rumours that they will launch a bid for the midfielder in the summer.

The France international, who is believed to be rated at £70m, has been regularly linked with a return to the Premier League following his free transfer to Juve from Manchester United in 2012.

According to Corriere dello Sport, Chelsea scouts watched Pogba perform in Juve's Coppa Italia semi-final second leg against Inter Milan, which they won on penalties.

Pogba, who is said to have been the subject of a Chelsea bid last summer, has also been linked to Manchester City, Barcelona, Real Madrid and with a return to United.
