Chelsea are intensifying their attempts to sign Roma and Germany defender Antonio Rudiger, claims The Sun.

Their interest in the centre-back is no secret and the 24-year-old is the top target now after Napoli shot down an approach for Kalidou Koulibaly.

Rudiger has fully recovered from a torn anterior cruciate ligament, which forced him to miss Euro 2016.

Multiple sources including Tuttomercatoweb note that Chelsea have sent scouts to view the 24-year-old several times, playing for both Roma and Germany.
