Chelsea scouts are currently watching Marseille midfielder, Giannelli Imbula, as a potential alternative to Real Madrid star, Sami Khedira.
The Blues have been watching the German international as Jose Mourinho eyes another holding-midfielder, but due to serious competition with Manchester United and Arsenal, Mourinho is telling his scouts to look elsewhere.
According to reports, with Chelsea not confident about their chances of signing Khedira, they are now monitoring the 22-year-old from France, who has impressed the club’s scouts during their time watching him.
The Belgium-born midfielder, who joined Marseille for just £6million last year, could go for £25m with Chelsea prepared to splash the cash on his services.
