Sevilla are ready to pounce for Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko.

Sevilla have made contact with the Frenchman in the past week - amid news of him being made available by Chelsea.

Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri is ready to see Bakayoko offloaded this summer.

Estadio Deportivo says Sevilla have made contact with the Blues about taking Bakayoko on a season-long loan.

Earlier this week, Sevilla fullback Sebastien Corchia said: "He is a very strong player, but he has a lot of technique for his power, he can defend well and he gets up to score goals, he is a complete player.

"We are going to see what can happen, I have seen the internet but I do not know what can happen.

"He is a great player and would be a great signing."
