Chelsea have received a boost in their Bosman battle for Bayern Munich defender Niklas Sule.
BILD says Chelsea have been handed a boost in their pursuit of Sule.
The Premier League is Sule's 'preferred destination'.
That's despite Barcelona being keen on the 26-year-old, who's current deal expires at the end of the season.
Sule is understood to be 'hesitating' over signing a new contract amid interest from Barca.
