Chelsea are looking to hijack another London club's January transfer plans after the Blues identified Mykhaylo Mudryk and Marcus Thuram as winter targets. Both Thuram and Mudryk have been heavily linked with a move to Arsenal but now Todd Boehly is pushing for both to snub north London for west London.
The Blues' plans to attempt a hijack for Mudryk are known with Shakhtar Donetsk chief Darijo Srna meeting Chelsea representatives at Stamford Bridge before the clash between Chelsea and Man City on Thursday. However, a potential hijack for Thuram is new.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the Blues have 'opened talks' to explore a January deal for Thuram, who would be available via a free transfer in the summer if he were to not sign an extension at Borussia-Park. Boehly is set to be up against tough competition for Thuram's signature with 'many top clubs' - like Arsenal - in the race.
