Bayern Munich midfield schemer Bastian Schweinsteiger is in the sights of Chelsea.

Chelsea management have been following the Germany international since the days of Jose Mourinho.

The Daily Express says Blues owner Roman Abramovich is ready to fund a summer overhaul of Carlo Ancelotti's squad - and Schweinsteiger is high on their shopping list.

Bayern will feel confident of seeing off Chelsea's challenge, though the player has expressed ambitions of moving abroad.
