Chelsea have made contact with St Etienne goalkeeper Noah Raveyre.
The 17 year-old is yet to sign pro forms with ASSE as he courts interest from abroad.
AC Milan chief Paolo Maldini has made an approach, while Le 10 Sport says Chelsea have also come forward.
After signing Edouard Mendy from Rennes over two years ago, Chelsea are now eyeing a fresh raid on the French transfer market for another keeper.
For the moment, Raveyre's current ASSE contract will expire in June.
