Striker would relish the challenge of playing in the Premier League

Partizan teenage striker Lazar Markovic has admitted he wants to play for Andre Villas-Boas' Chelsea in the future. The 17-year-old Serbian has been compared to Montenegro's Steven Jovetic, who is a star at Fiorentina, and has been linked with a move to the Premier League. Markovic has confessed England's top flight is appealing and particularly four-time champions Chelsea. He is quoted as saying by Serbian media: "Chelsea is the club that I love the most, of course after Partizan. "I would love to play there. I believe that the Premier League is the best football and that's the type of league which suits me."
