Chelsea are reportedly weighing up a surprise move for Romania star Nicolae Stanciu.

The 23-year-old scored 14 times and provided 11 assists for Steaua Bucharest last season.

And the Daily Mirror claim that form has piqued the interest of Blues boss Antonio Conte.

The former Juventus manager has already added Michy Batshuayi and N'Golo Kante to his squad this summer in deals totalling more than £65m.

But he could be about to open Chelsea's chequebook again to secure a £6m switch.

Stanciu is not the only player on Conte's radar though, with Dario de Noticias suggesting he has made a "formal proposal" to Dinamo Zagreb for Portugal national team goalkeeper Eduardo.

The 33-year-old was said to be on his way back to his homeland with Sporting Lisbon.

But his current club pulled out of a deal, leaving Conte free to swoop.

The Italian is wary that Asmir Begovic is keen to secure a regular starting spot this season and Eduardo may be brought in to deputise for first choice Thibaut Courtois if the Bosnia and Herzegovina ace leaves Stamford Bridge before the August 31 transfer deadline.
