Manchester United face a battle against two unnamed clubs to sign Red Bull Salzburg striker Benjamin Sesko this summer, with Chelsea rumoured to have held a meeting with the player's representatives.
Chelsea have added Raheem Sterling to their attacking options in the summer transfer window with the Blues focusing more on strengthening their defence following the departures of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen. Romelu Lukaku's return to Inter Milan and uncertainty over Timo Werner's future could see the west London outfit add another attacker to their ranks before the transfer deadline.
football.london understands the Blues are open to letting Werner leave the club this summer and are exploring the possibility of using the German forward as a makeweight as part of a swap-deal for RB Leipzig defender Josko Gvardiol. Sesko is one option Chelsea could explore with the Slovenian striker attracting interest from United.
