Serie A leaders Juventus are looking to pip Chelsea to the signing of Inter Milan forward Mauro Icardi, according to reports.

Blues manager Jose Mourinho is said to view the 21-year-old Argentine, whose deal at the San Siro lasts until 2018, as a long-term replacement for Didier Drogba.

However, The Express claims that Icardi, reportedly valued at £30m, is also on the radar of the Turin giants.

The striker has scored 15 goals this season, with four in his last five games.
