HIGHLY-rated Chelsea striker Milan Lalkovic could become one of Paulo Di Canio's first recruits at Swindon Town, according to reports in London.
The 18-year-old Slovak featured in the reserves last season after moving up from the Blues' FA Youth Cup-winning team and is reportedly a loan target for the new County Ground boss.
A source told the Fulham Chronicle: "Paulo is looking to set his team up at Swindon, and is very keen on the young boy.
"Chelsea have sent a number of other young players out on loan, and he thinks Lalkovic could do a job here."
