Chelsea are interested in signing Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans this winter.

The Belgian is out of contract in the summer, which means that Leicester will look to cash in on him in January.

Per CBS journalist Ben Jacobs, Blues co-owner Todd Boehly is eyeing Tielemans as a cut price pick up.

The Blues are likely to make their move in January, rather than wait for the summer.

There is a concern that the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona may become involved if Tielemans is available on a free.

The Belgian was previously linked to Manchester United and Arsenal, but no move materialised.
