Inter Milan winger Antonio Candreva has revealed that it is "nice" to be linked with Chelsea amid suggestions that the Premier League champions want to sign the 30-year-old in this summer's transfer window.

Candreva only joined Inter from Lazio last summer, and the 47-time Italian international has said that he is "happy" to be part of "an important project" at San Siro.

However, the versatile midfielder has hinted that he could be interested in a move to England ahead of the new campaign.

"I'm proud to wear this shirt, I've bought into an important project here and I'm happy to be here," Candreva told reporters.

"This shirt has an important history which I honour every time I wear it. The links with Chelsea are nice but there's been absolutely nothing to date. The club will take care of any bids that may come in."

Candreva scored eight times in 45 appearances for Inter during the 2016-17 season.
