Chelsea are interested in signing Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans.
That's according to CBS journalist Ben Jacobs, who says the Blues have entered the race to sign the Belgium international. Tielemans' contract expires next summer and the midfielder had been tipped to leave the Foxes in the last summer transfer window.
But a move did not come to fruition, and now Todd Boehly appears to be eyeing a move for the 25-year-old. According to Jacobs, Chelsea may have to sign him for a fee in January to fend off competition from Real Madrid and Barcelona, who could tie him down to a pre-contract agreement next month. Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United are also in the frame to sign Tielemans.
