Chelsea defender Malang Sarr is said to prefer a move to Monaco rather than Fulham.

The left-footed centre-back is wanted by the French side and the newly promoted Premier League club.

However, the Evening Standard states that he would rather go back to France for regular first team football.

Monaco have put in an offer for Chelsea that is a loan with an option to buy.

Sarr is unlikely to get much game time due to the impending signing of Marc Cucurella from Brighton, along with the emergence of youngster Levi Colwill.

However, Colwill's future is also up in the air, as he may even be included in the deal that is taking Cucurella to Chelsea.

The Blues are chasing Leicester City defender Wesley Fofana as well.
