Chelsea are understood to be keeping tabs on Manchester City transfer target Jeremy Doku with the Blues in the market for attacking reinforcements.
Crystal Palace’s Michael Olise snubbed a transfer to the Bridge earlier this week after reports had suggested that Chelsea were closing in on signing the exciting talent with his release clause triggered.
With the west Londoners on the hunt for a right winger, Rennes’ Jeremy Doku has emerged as a name on Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino’s shopping list before the September 1 transfer deadline.
According to a report from the French publication L’Équipe, it is claimed that the Stamford Bridge camp are in the mix for Doku despite Manchester City leading the race to sign the 21-year-old Belgian international.
Chelsea’s London-based rivals West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur are also interested in Doku with the former looking to line up a viable replacement for Brazil playmaker Lucas Paqueta who is wanted by City this summer.
