Chelsea are contemplating a surprise move for Celtic defender Josip Juranovic.

The Blues are very eager to add a quality right-wing-back to their squad for the remainder of the season.

The Stamford Bridge club have often struggled when defender Reece James is out of the team, which has happened quite often in the past 12 months.

Fabrizio Romano now claims that Chelsea are one of many teams chasing Juranovic.

The full-back was outstanding for Croatia at the World Cup, particularly impressing when he defender Vinicius Jr. in their quarter final win over Brazil.

Celtic manager Ange Postecoglu recently told reporters: "We haven't had an offer for any player. If there's an issue or if players have things put in front of them about their future, I'm sure they will come and see me, and (chief executive) Michael (Nicholson) will speak to their representatives. But right now there is nothing. Zero. Zip. Nada. Nothing going on."
