One player who has been on the London club's radar for a few weeks now is Monaco midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko. The 22-year-old was part of the successful Ligue 1 side that managed to win the league and reach the UEFA Champions League semi-finals last season, and is apparently considered the perfect partner for N'Golo Kante in the coming years.
Another Ligue 1 star who has been linked with the Stamford Bridge club is Paris Saint-Germain striker Edinson Cavani. The Uruguayan could replace Spain forward Diego Costa, who has been told that he can leave. The 30-year-old Uruguayan scored 49 goals in 50 appearances for the Paris side in 2016/17.
If the London club's move for Romelu Lukaku does not work out, then Torino's Andrea Belotti could be an option for the English champions. The 23-year-old has been linked with a move to the Premier League in recent months, with Manchester United said to be leading the charge. The Italy striker scored 28 goals in 38 appearances for Torino last season.
Other footballers who could sign for the Blues, according to FFT, are Alban Lafont, Mateo Kovacic, Luke Shaw, Stefano Sensi, Emil Forsberg and Elseid Hysaj.
