This will be one of the most hotly contested transfers. German clubs PSG, Bayern Munich and Barcelona are interested in the under-21 footballer.
Chelsea must have spotted Lamine Camara, the midfielder they came close to signing in the summer.
“Sources suggest Chelsea were impressed enough by what they saw to continue tracking the German, adding another major Premier League club to their growing list of admirers,” he said.
