Chelsea signal their intentions for Ajax star Christian Eriksen
CHELSEA are set to signal their intent to sign Ajax's Christian Eriksen.
The Dane is in demand with the likes of Liverpool and Spurs among the frontrunners for his signature.
The Express Online reported earlier this week that Eriksen has also aroused interest from Serie A giants Inter Milan.
But now it seems Chelsea are ready to join the race to sign the talented midfielder.
Danish paper Sporten.dk Chelsea have dispatched scouts to watch Eriksen in action for Denmark against Bulgaria.
Eriksen is viewed as a potential long-term successor to Frank Lampard who is in the twilight of his career and has yet to pen a new contract with the Blues.
He has shown an eye for goal, netting seven times in the Eredivisie so far this season.
