Rennes GM Pierre Dreossi has confirmed talks with Chelsea over striker Morten Nielsen.
Dreossi told L'Equipe: "Yes, that's right. He's a very interesting player with a massive potential.
"We understand it's easier for a club like us to take a Nielsen rather than a [Didier] Drogba. The idea is to help that type of player reach the next level with us.
"We are going to know if there's a possibility to play him with our Academy or with our Under-21 team."
