Frank Arnesen is targeting three Chelsea players for his new club Hamburg.
The Daily Mail says new Hamburg director Arnesen is close to completing a £3m deal for Chelsea defender Michael Mancienne - the first of three Blues youngsters being chased by the German side.
The Bundesliga club who recently hired the former Chelsea chief in a similar capacity are believed to have given the Dutchman license to pursue a deal for Chelsea's hottest prospects..
Also on Hamburg's radar is fellow defender Jeffrey Bruma, who is highly regarded. The centre-back has even been capped at senior level for the Netherlands..
Arnesen is also keen on Gael Kakuta who was sent out on loan in January to west-London neighbours Fulham.
