CHELSEA fans are demanding their club stump up the cash to sign Inter Milan striker Mauro Icardi.
The Argentine forward, 25, scored a crucial equaliser for the Serie A giants in last night's Champions League clash with Barcelona.
With just three minutes to go and his side trailing to Malcom's first Barca goal, Icardi controlled and turned in the box before firing a neat finish past Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
He now has three Champions League goals in four matches this season.
Icardi scored the equaliser in the comeback victory over Tottenham in September and then netted the winner against PSV Eindhoven.
And Chelsea fans are now desperate to see Roman Abramovich break the bank in order to sign the former Sampdoria star.

Blues supporters are frustrated by £60million man Alvaro Morata who has struggled since his move to Stamford Bridge last year.
So plenty are calling for Icardi to come in and try and secure the Premier League title under new boss Maurizio Sarri.

One Twitter user, @ArrizabalagaCFC, said: "Damn I would really love Icardi at Chelsea."
Meanwhile, @Devonche87 begged: "Can Roman please sign Mauro Icardi for Chelsea. Please!!"
And @miide_E added: "Morata is a total waste up front. It's time to bin him. Chelsea must sell him next season, Get me icardi."
Icardi's European heroics mean Inter now look set to progress into the knockout stages along with Barca at the expense of Tottenham.
Spurs kept their slim chances of going through alive through Harry Kane's late deflected winner against PSV at Wembley last night.
But it is not just on the continent the Inter captain is leading by example.
His six goals in his last four Serie A games have helped Inter to second in the table, six points behind leaders Juventus after 11 games.
The Milan club have not won the Scudetto since the treble-winning season of 2009/10 under Jose Mourinho.
Icardi will be desperate to stop that run this term but Chelsea fans are hoping he switches the San Siro for Stamford Bridge in the January transfer window.
