Chelsea are eyeing Mexican striker Hirving Lozano as a possible replacement for misfiring Alvaro Morata in the January window.

Maurizio Sarri's side have began the new season on a bright note and are joint top of the Premier League with Manchester City and Liverpool.

The Blues are still the only unbeaten Premier League club in all competitions and the accolades have gone to Sarri who has been behind their tactical approach to the game.

On his arrival, the 59-year-old has changed from Antonio Conte's 3-4-3, three at the back formation to a possession based 4-3-3

And the immediate change has been hugely enjoyed by Eden Hazard who has scored eight goals, but the likes of Morata, Olivier Giroud and Willian have lagged behind - with just five goals between them.

It has led to the former Napoli boss turning to January targets, with PSV winger Lozano reportedly high on his list.

Lozano was in fine form in the Champions League against Tottenham, scoring one and getting Hugo Lloris sent off in their 2-2 draw at the Philips Stadium.

And according to Italian news media outfit CalcioMercato, Chelsea are prepared to rival Serie A side, Inter Milan for his signature.
