The Blues have identified Sampdoria hitman Giampaolo Pazzini as a possible transfer target, according to French website les-transferts.com.The Italian has scored 15 goals in 22 appearances in all competitions since joining the Blucerchiati from Fiorentina last January and has formed a fruitful partnership with Antonio Cassano.
Chelsea are reportedly willing to pay €18 million for his signature and the deal may allow them to offload seldom-used striker Andriy Shevchenko, whose salary takes up a significant amount on their wage bill. Coach Carlo Ancelotti is an admirer of the former Atalanta striker, who scored against the his Milan team last season.
Pazzini also earned his first cap for the Italian national team last year, but has been omitted from their latest string of matches.
