Chelsea are in talks for Bologna youngster Amadou Diawara.

TMW says the 18-year-old has sent representatives to open discussions with the Blues.

The midfield enforcer has made 17 appearances in all competitions this season and his performances haven't gone unnoticed at Stamford Bridge.

The Premier League champions were reportedly interested in the young star when Jose Mourinho was still in charge.

And the Special One's sacking doesn't appear to have changed things.
