Bayer Leverkusen fullback Benny Henrichs has welcomed interest from Chelsea.

The Blues are in the market for a new fullback signing and is prepared to offer €35m for Henrichs.

BILD says Bayer chiefs insist no formal contact from Chelsea has been fielded, however Henrichs has welcomed the interest.

The youngster is tied to Bayer until 2022, but his contract does not carry a buyout clause.

Henrichs is open to a new challenge and Bayer would be willing to sell with his first-choice status no longer assured.
