Chelsea eyeing move for Wolves wing-back Rayan Ait-Nouri

Chelsea are eyeing a move for Wolves wing-back Rayan Ait-Nouri.

Chelsea see Ait-Nouri as competition and cover for England international Ben Chilwell at left-back.

Chelsea and England ace Chilwell spent six-months of the recent campaign out with a cruciate ligament injury.

And Blues management can see Ait-Nouri as cover for the defender and a potential replacement for wantaway fullback Marcos Alonso.

Ait-Nouri played 27 games in all competitions for Wolves, helping Bruno Lage's side to a 10th-place finish in the Premier League.

And his form has led to the Blues considering whether to make a move, says The Sun.
