Dries Mertens 'interested in London move' amid Chelsea talk

Napoli forward Dries Mertens is reportedly 'interested' in moving to a London-based club this summer.

The 32-year-old has again been in good form for his Italian club during the 2019-20 campaign, scoring 12 times in all competitions, including six strikes in seven Champions League outings.

The Belgium international's contract in Naples is due to expire at the end of June, though, and a host of clubs continue to be credited with an interest in his services.

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard is said to be determined to bring the attacker to Stamford Bridge this summer, and according to the Daily Mail, Mertens is open to a move to the English capital.

The report goes on to claim that the Belgian 'has a number of offers', suggesting that the Blues will have to fight off a host of competition if they wish to secure his signature.

Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool have also all been credited with an interest.
