Olympique Lyon are reportedly watching Chelsea youngster Bertrand Traore.

According to Goal, the French club sent scouts to cast an eye over the Burkina Faso forward in Ajax's Europa League win over Panathinaikos in Amsterdam on Thursday night.

Traore joined the Dutch giants on a season-long loan in the summer and has been in decent form for Peter Bosz, but unfortunately for Lyon, he was an unused sub at the Amsterdam Arena in the 2-0 win.

The 21-year-old played 16 times for the Blues last season but is currently down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge with Diego Costa and summer signing Michy Batshuayi ahead of him under Antonio Conte.

Traore could be offloaded at the end of the current campaign and it is understood that Lyon are monitoring how he gets on in Holland.

During his time at Ajax thus far, Traore has scored five goals and provided three assists in 18 appearances in all competitions.
