Blues boss Antonio Conte is already on the 24-year-old’s trail, and will have him watched at the Emirates.

The former Juventus coach signed Boakye from Genoa in 2012- the striker has also played for Sassuolo and Atalanta.

Boakye, rated at £10million, has scored 13 times in 21 games for his Serbian club this season.

He played in their 1-0 home loss to Arsenal on October 19.

Boakye told Belgrade newspaper Novosti: “If I am destined to play for Chelsea then I will join them.

“I won’t feel under pressure to perform even if they are watching me.  I’m playing well for Red Star, and let’s see who wants me.

“I’m enjoying my football, and playing as well as I can.

“I will be back at the Emirates if I deserve it.  I would love to face Petr Cech once again, as when you

score against someone of his calibre you celebrate more.

“Arsenal are a big club, but we take every opponent seriously.  If we play well as a team everything is possible.”
