Chelsea are weighing up a move for young Monaco midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni.

With a glowing reference from former Blue Cesc Fabregas, Chelsea are considering making a bid for the youngster.

The Frenchman has been named the Young Player of the Year in Ligue 1 after putting himself in the shop window with a number of star performances under Niko Kovac.

Monaco snapped up Tchouameni for £15.5million in January 2020 from Bordeaux and it's a decision they have not lived to regret.

Now The Sun says Chelsea are plotting a potential move worth up to £34m.

Former Blues midfielder Cesc has shared the engine room with Tchouameni and his character referencing of the youngster suggests Chelsea could be onto another gem.

“He can play anywhere in midfield and he will not have a problem," he recently told BT Sport.

“He can play as a No 6 alone, as a defensive midfielder, as a No 8, in a double 6. What he's doing now, even in a year's time, he could become a good No 10 if he wanted.

"He's got the power to get into the box. He needs to improve his final pass a little bit, but he's so young, and he's determined to learn."
