Chelsea reportedly have a 'long-term' interest in Brighton midfielder Yves Bissouma. With the speculation of Aurélien Tchouaméni choosing a Real Madrid move ahead of a move to Stamford Bridge, the Blues have found a stellar alternative.

Defenders will be first on Tuchel's list, but a midfielder would be just as important of a slot to fill for next season.
N'Golo Kante, Mateo Kovacic and Jorginho have been exhausted throughout this past season, and it is far to say that another quality midfielder is needed. But not for a ridiculous price. Tchouaméni has been a Chelsea target since the last summer transfer window. It has been near impossible to get a deal negotiated with AS Monaco for the Frenchman with the sanctions imposed on the club, but now that the price tag has been revealed, it's time to assess alternatives.
