Chelsea are in talks with Olympique Lyon for Rayan Cherki.
TMW says Chelsea see the young attacker as a replacement for Christian Pulisic, who is a step away from joining AC Milan.
Talks are now underway with OL for Cherki, who is prepared to leave this summer.
Chelsea are prepared to splash out on the attacker to bring him to London before the start of the season.
Last season, Cherki made 39 appearances, producing 5 goals and 6 assists.
