Chelsea are considering a swap bid for AS Monaco attacker Thomas Lemar.

The Telegraph says Lemar is being lined up so manager Antonio Conte can deploy Eden Hazard as a false nine.

The Monaco man can play on either the left or right flank which would allow Hazard to play a more central role.

It's suggested the Ligue 1 champions could ask for Michy Batshuayi in return, though.

Monaco were eyeing the Belgian striker in the summer. However, Chelsea opted to retain his services after missing out on Fernando Llorente.
