Chelsea are being linked with Monaco midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni.

The France Under-21 has been very impressive for the Coupe de France finalists over the past 18 months.

Tchouameni is responsible for a lot of the defensive dirty work in midfield, alongside partner Youssouf Fofana.

The 21-year-old is now impressing the very best teams in Europe, per Goal.com.

They claim Chelsea are very interested in a player who arrived at Monaco in the winter transfer window of 2020 for €18 million.

Any suitor would have to pay Monaco €40 million to secure the midfielder.
