Monaco midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Chelsea, according to The Athletic.
The Blues are one of a number of top potential suitors who have been credited as admirers of the Frenchman over the past 12 months.
Before they ultimately secured a deal for Saul Niguez from Atletico Madrid, there was talk of a big-money move for Tchouameni.
However, Chelsea felt that the 21-year-old would benefit from a further season representing AS Monaco in the France top flight.
The midfielder racked up 42 appearances in all competitions during 2020-21.
Meanwhile, Manchester United are also said to be interested in signing Tchouameni and could make an approach for him next summer.
