Chelsea could make January move for this AS Monaco midfielder

With a few days to the start of the January transfer window, there are transfer rumours already linking Chelsea to one player or the other.

One of the claims is that the Blues are contemplating whether to make a January approach for Monaco midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni.

After Tchouameni won seven caps for France, the 21-year-old has been tipped to receive numerous offers to depart Monaco over the coming transfer windows.

While the French midfielder still has two-and-a-half years remaining on his contract, Monaco may, however, let him leave for the right price.

According to Eurosport, Chelsea are ready to test Monaco’s resolve next month as they plan ahead for future departures in the middle of the pitch.

The report claimed that Chelsea expects at least one of Jorginho, Mateo Kovacic and N’Golo Kante, aged 30, 27 and 30 respectively, to leave Stamford Bridge over the next 12 months.

There are claims that Chelsea are willing to let Tchouameni remain on loan at Monaco for the rest of the season if they are able to reach an agreement with Monaco.
