Napoli's Dries Mertens is out of contract in the summerChelsea are in talks to sign Napoli forward Dries Mertens as they attempt to bring in an attacking player late in the transfer window. Chelsea head coach Frank Lampard has become increasingly frustrated by lack of signings this month, particularly in an attacking area. Speaking about Mertens in December, agent Federico Pastorello said: "If I think about a good opportunity in the market, it would be Mertens from Napoli. So I think he would be very happy to play in the Premier League. I know him very well tactically and technically and I think he can be a successful player for the Premier League."
