Chelsea have expressed interest in Werder Bremen goalkeeper Jiri Pavlenka.

With Werder relegated last season, Pavlenka is available this summer and seeking to move on.

DeichStube the Czech Republic international is interesting Chelsea as they seek a reserve keeper signing.

With Willy Caballero leaving and Kepa Arrizabalaga also a potential departure, Chelsea have identified Pavlenka as cover for Edouard Mendy.

Werder are willing to sell, with Pavlenka's deal now having less than a year to run, but whether the keeper would be open to a backup role is another matter.
