CHELSEA are leading contenders to sign Inter Milan defender Milan Skriniar.
That's according to bookmakers Betfair, who've installed Thomas Tuchel's side as 3/1 favourites to clinch his signature.

The Blues are desperate to rebuild their defensive ranks after two quick-fire departures.
Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen will both leave when their contracts expire.
The pair will join Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively, while Cesar Azpilicueta could follow Christensen to the Nou Camp.
That leaves Tuchel with Trevoh Chalobah, Thiago Silva and Malang Sarr ahead of the 2022-23 campaign.
The Daily Mail claim Chelsea have 'asked' about Skriniar but the two parties are 'some distance' apart on his valuation.
Skriniar has been ever-present for Inter since his £30million arrival from Sampdoria in 2017.
He was also an integral part of their Serie A, Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italiana successes in 2021.

But his future at the San Siro is in doubt with just over 12 months remaining on his contract, which expires in June 2023.
Antonio Conte's Tottenham are also interested in the Slovakia international with the pair having worked together at Inter.
But Tottenham are outsiders at 6/1, a fraction behind Manchester United (5/1).
Though tipped to leave, Skriniar has stated that he intends to continue with Inter in Italy.
He said: "My future is at Inter.
"I have a contract and nothing has changed. The transfer rumours come out every six months, every year. But there's nothing specific – I'm satisfied with Inter."
