Chelsea have jumped into the battle for wantaway PSG midfielder Adrien Rabiot.

Barcelona continue to lead the chase for Rabiot and reports suggested recently they had an agreement in place to sign him on a free at the end of the season.

Those reports appear wide of the mark though with PSG now considering selling Rabiot this month after he was told to stay away from first-team training by Thomas Tuchel.

L'Equipe says Chelsea are now in the mix and have launched an enquiry about the midfielder.

Blues boss Maurizio Sarri wants another option in midfield after letting Cesc Fabregas go to Monaco.
