Chelsea have renewed their interest in Red Bull Leipzig central defender Josko Gvardiol, according to reports.
The Blues have been long-term admirers of the Croatian after his performances in the Bundesliga. Gvardiol first attracted interest during his days with Dinamo Zagreb and has caught the eye of some of Europe's best since his €18.8million (£16.7million) move to Germany.
Gvardiol's performances at last year's Qatar World Cup had resulted in him being strongly linked with a January move to Stamford Bridge, but Benoit Badiashile was instead signed after Gvardiol signed a new deal with Leipzig.
