Chelsea have made tentative enquiries with Barcelona for Ousmane Dembele.

Despite the French youngster only moving to Barca in August from Borussia Dortmund, Chelsea have come forward about taking him off the Catalans' hands.

Chelsea, reports Don Balon, sees Dembele as a replacement for Eden Hazard.

While desperate not to lose their star Belgian, Chelsea are prepared to cash in should he refuse to sign a new contract.

Real Madrid are preparing a massive bid for Hazard this summer - with intermediaries alerting Chelsea of their plans.

In reaction, Chelsea have registered their interest with Barca for Dembele.
