Chelsea have been given the free run to sign Monaco midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni in the upcoming summer transfer window amid interest from Manchester United and Liverpool.
Tchouameni, 21, has already been touted as N'Golo Kante's successor as the Ligue 1 young player of the season in the 2020/21 campaign ponders his next career move with the side from Monte Carlo in risk of missing out of European qualification this term if things don't turn for the better.
"In terms of being the potential future fulcrum of Chelsea's midfield, yes," French football expert Jonathan Johnson told football.london when asked if Tchouameni could be the long-term successor to Kante.
