Watford midfielder Roberto Pereyra has been in sensational form for the Hornets in the new Premier League season and his impressive outings have alerted several European heavyweights.
The former Juventus player is one of the leading goalscorer in the English top flight after finding the back of the net on five occasions in the first eleven games of the season.
One of the aforementioned teams interested in him is Chelsea who are said to be interested in the 27-year-old.
According to the publication from renowned English news portal Daily Mirror, Chelsea have identified the Argentine international as one of the potential replacements for star player Eden Hazard if they decide to cash in on the Belgian international star at the end of the season.
Hazard has less than two years left on his current deal at Stamford Bridge prompting doubts over his long-term future at Chelsea.
The former Lille man has repeatedly been linked with a move to European champions Real Madrid since the summer as a replacement for Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner swapped the Estadio Santiago Bernebeu for Juventus in the summer after the Old Lady paid a club record transfer fee of around €100m for the 33-year-old.
