Chelsea make Leeds keeper Meslier a summer priority

Chelsea are making Leeds United goalkeeper Ilan Meslier a summer priority transfer target.

Meslier has played every single minute for Leeds this term, including yesterday's 4-2 win at Wolves.

The Elland Road side want to keep the Frenchman if they beat the drop but have placed an asking price of over £30m on his head amid mounting interest.

Newcastle are also believed to be keen on him while Chelsea were linked with a move for him in January.

Football Insider says they are “prepared to out-bid their rivals" to get Meslier this summer.

The Blues have switched No1s this season, with Kepa Arrizabalaga reclaiming first choice status over Edouard Mendy.
